We Leave Tomorrow!!

We just received a call asking us if we could leave for Ethiopia tomorrow. We of course said yes. Mira will now be able to travel with us!! We are so excited! So much to do. Next time I post we will be home with our little boy.

Travel Date

We received our official travel date today to pick up Tarik. It was bitter sweet news. We had really been hoping for a Dec 1st travel date. However, we had to get our fingerprints redone and immigration took a long time to update them in the system. It's a long frustrating story so I will leave it at that.

Our new travel date is Dec. 15th. We get home Christmas Day. The worst part of all this is that Mira can't come to Ethiopia with us as she will be with her Mom for Christmas. We really wanted her to be a part of this experience. We will have to take her there when Tarik is old enough. On the upside we finally get to buy plane tickets and bring our baby home. A Christmas Day we will never forget.

Birth Certificate!

We received Tarik's birth certificate yesterday!

This means we are one step closer to bringing him home!

Also, his big sister got her report card and it is awesome! We are very proud of her. She works so hard.
