Medical Papers from Nairobi

Our medical papers arrived from Nairobi! To all of you not doing Ethiopian adoptions, I'll explain: Part of the process for Canadian immigration is for an immigration medical to take place. The nearest Canadian embassy happens to be in Nairobi. In order for that process to begin, the embassy has to send immigration paperwork to CAFAC in Addis so that they can have a immigration medical done. In some cases this process can take up to three months, holding up the entire process. I was super excited to receive news of this because it means that if our court proceedings are successful in one hearing, the rest of the adoption paperwork could be completed within the next six to nine weeks! This means that we could travel as soon as the end of February. So, please pray that our adoption takes only one court hearing! WAHOO. I don't care about my two front teeth... all I want for Christmas is a successful court hearing. In fact, if it would help, I'd give my two front teeth!
