Catching Up
Well, we’ve been very busy and I’m just now getting the blog up to date. We made it home okay and everything has been great! The baby is sooooo sweet and beautiful! Just a quick thank you to all of the prayers and well wishers.
The trip was great and I’ll be putting a video of this second trip together soon. As far as the adoptions aspects go, court went smoothly and we arrived back in the USA relatively no worse for wear. The plane trip from Ethiopia to Amsterdam was fine, but the trip from Amsterdam to Texas was rough. The baby started to get an upset stomach and we had to eventually change her outfit. She also ended up getting some kind of skin rash, but that went away within a few weeks. (likely due to some type of virus)
We just finished our paperwork for the baby’s “re-adoption”. This will enable us the ability to change her name and receive a Texas birth certificate instead of her Ethiopian one. After that comes in, we will get her social security card up to date with her new name.

Care Centers
One of the many things we did while in Addis was visit some of the care centers.... They are constantly needing donations and are always welcome! Such an emotional roller coaster. Send us an e-mail for details.

Approved by the court!!!!!!!!!!
Well, it was a long journey, but we were approved by the court! We were able to visit Briley 3 different times and it was fantastic... We didn't have any problems to really speak of. Now we wait for our phone call for the 2nd trip and then to the embassy! We'll be posting many more photos of our trip on Facebook...
