Still waiting

It's April 13, 2009. That's 14 1/2 months from when we applied to CHI. We are still waiting for the next benchmark, our referral, which will probably be this summer but by then it could be later. The next wait after we get our referral is to get our court date (courts close August to October) in Ethiopia. Then we wait to pass court and hope it doesn't have to be rescheduled. Court means she's adopted to us. Next we wait for our visa appointment. After that get that we can buy tickets and fly over to bring her home. All said maybe we'll be home by Christmas this year but then, it may be later.
