Another milestone passed!

We learned yesterday (with great joy!) that our baby boy's paperwork was submitted to the US Embassy in Ethiopia on September 1. (SO HAPPY!)

This marks (what we hope is) the final leg of our long journey. The embassy will review his file once it crosses their desks (we have no idea how many cases are in front of us). They'll set an appointment/date for us to return to Addis, meet with the embassy and bring our son home. Or, they'll request more information on his case. The timing here is completely unknown. BEST FREAKY CRAZY MIRACLE time-frame scenario would be a phone call with good news in just a few weeks. I won't write worst case, cause that's not where my energy's going.

I would like to humbly request a freaky, crazy, beautiful, sudden miracle, please! (But then again, he is our miracle, so is it even fair to ask for another?!)

Okay, so the grandparents can ask for another miracle and we're doing just that.

Last hurdle! So very close! At this stage any wait feels far too long. I hope you hear good news soon.
