Officially Matched

B, our case worker phoned this morning telling us our referral acceptance paperwork was received and all looks good. We are officially matched to our sweet baby E. I must admit I was a little stressed these last few days getting it all completed but everyone was so helpful in getting their part done fast. On Monday we have our next steps call where B will go over court process and other fun stuff. So now that Agci can contact the staff at HH and they can start working on getting us a court date. B said to expect up to 6 Weeks before we hear about our court date, then up to 3 months until our court date (which is when we will travel to meet our sweet girl for about a week and she will become legally ours... at least according to Ethiopia) then we have to leave her and come home for up to 6 weeks while we wait for a U.S Embassy appointment. Then we can go get her and bring her home for good. We are praying for a miracle that our court date will come WAY sooner since she should be paper ready for court but who knows.

your court date should end up being in march or April. I would be shocked if it was later than that! I would guess March sometime for trip 1 :) Praying that is the case!
