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.
What an amazing Christmas present he will be!! It is unfortunate Mira can't share the adventure so take lots of pictures. We will all be awaiting your return. Safe travel. Love you lots - Mom

I don't know about you guys, but this whole thing has worn me out. Since this will be the Christmas of a lifetime, I can't wait to hear what you have planned for next year!
