Q: When do we travel?
A: We don't know. Hopefully around Thanksgiving, but we are still waiting on concrete dates.
A couple of weeks ago, there were some changes in the paperwork processing for visas and as a result, it is highly likely that our travel will be delayed an additional 2 weeks on top of the wait we already expected - that puts travel about 4 weeks from court passage. Once court is over, the Ethiopian government must complete paperwork (i.e. new birth certficate) and then paperwork must be submitted to the U.S. Embassy for processing by the USA. We are praying that both governments will hurry, but alas, we know that Maura Ruhama will arrive home right on time - according to God's schedule, not ours. So, we continue to wait and pray.
