An Update -- Court Submission

We received word from our agency last Tuesday, March 22nd, that our case has been submitted to court.  This is excellent news, was quicker than we expected, and an indication all paperwork has been obtained and is in order to satisfy the governmental entities involved to review (Ethiopian High Court, MOWCYA, etc.)  We feel our agency works on the prudent and "safe" side and does not put the cart in front of the horse -- meaning they do not proceed with the next step of the adoption process until they feel confident they have everything thus far in order and obtained that will be required for the next step of the process.  We are anticipating a June court date, although as we all know it could be later depending on the current state of affairs in Ethiopian adoptions.  Both Roger and I will travel to Ethiopia to appear in court, get to meet Ezra, and then will return home until we have been issued an embassy date which will hopefully be sometime in August or September.....or before.  That would be okay too.  :)
