We have an appointment with the US Embassy (final step) on March 13 which means....
Back on the airplane March 9th and arrive to Ethiopia early Saturday morning. Sunday we will rest, and then we will Elijah up on Monday! Please pray for us, we are anticipating a very scared little boy and tears when we take him back to the guest house where we will be staying.
We have a meeting with the US Embassy Tuesday and then fly home late Thursday, March 15th (arriving Friday to the US)...
So if you are not tired of praying for us by then, we will really need them for the flight home. 17hrs from take off to landing in Washington DC, and then back home late Friday afternoon to meet his new brothers.
Please continue to pray for us. We are so happy and excited yet so nervous picking up our little boy whom we have only met for a teary 45 mins.
