We got a call last night from Julie saying that we went through court on Monday! Abnet is legally our child! Yea! She thinks that we will be able to travel in about 4 to 5 weeks. They need to get his passport, and set up an US embassy appointment before we'll know for sure. We should hear from them next week with dates that we can travel.
And although I am so excited that the process has been really fast for us, I'm also feeling very sad for some others who have been waiting longer than us. Julie told me last night, that there were some families who have not gone through court yet, and they have been waiting longer then us. I can't imagine how hard that would be. Unfortunately the courts don't really look at who should be next in line, so you never know what order it will be in. I am praying hard for you all (you know who you are) that your case will come fast! & I'm sure we will be celebrating with you soon!
Here are some more pictures of Abnet:
This is when Abnet first came to Hannah's Hope (the AGCI's home). --i think he is about 2months here.
This was taken by some other families who were there to bring their children home. --again i think he is about 2 months old.
I think he is about 2 1/2 months here
About 3 months here
I know, I know, he's adorable! :)
