The birthmother was required to appear in federal court in Addis today in order for our case to be amended. She did not make the trip today. The courts and US Embassy are closed now until Monday so we will be here in Addis for the long weekend.
We are at a stand still in any forward movement until the mother appears in court, hopefully that will be on Monday.
We are ready to come home and are very sorry to be away from our family for Easter, but we are just trusting and waiting until this can be all cleared up and we can get back home to our girls.

I’m sorry! Hang in there!
Hang in there! I am so sorry that you are having this snag.
