I got a call this morning from Kurt (our consultant) who heard from Alemu (the contact in Ethiopia). Everything went smoothly with yesterday's court proceedings. We are officially parents! No official word on when we'll travel, but Kurt is estimating that Alemu will want us to arrive in Ethiopia on June 15th. That's only four short weeks from tomorrow! We expect to have that all sorted out in the coming days.
We also received answers to a few questions we had. Most importantly, it sounds like we'll be able to meet the birthmother while we're there. We are very excited about this because of how much it will mean to Henock as he grows older. I'm sure it will be a very emotional experience.
Also, we should be receiving new pictures of Henock in the next few days. We'll be sure to share them here. I know some of you haven't seen the pictures of him we received with our referral, so here are a few pictures of our baby boy.

I am so happy for you both!! I had tears in my eyes when I read the entry. What a great reason to celebrate on Sunday...I'll see you then...CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Congratulations Mom and Dad! We are so happy for you and will continue to pray for all of you!
Your "pregnancy" has been filled with all the hope, shifting emotions and anxiety of all expectant parents but with the added sense of urgency brought on by uncontrollable outside forces. I admire your courage and positive attitude. This little boy is blessed. We wish you a safe journey and look forward to meeting him when he arrives in Michigan;)
