As you may or may not know when we go to Ethiopia for our court date that is only the first step to getting our Boys home. The second step is to then go to Embassy which is approx 6-10 weeks after our court date. After a lot of soul searching and conversations with my Hubby we have decided that after court Jimmy will fly home but I will STAY in Ethiopia until Embassy!!!
I am so excited for this adventure. I will stay at the guest house where there will be families coming and going at a constant pace. I get to keep the Boys with me at all times, they will not have to go back to the orphanage!!!
We will have weeks if not a couple of months just the three of us to bond. I am so looking forward to living there for that time, to be submerged in their culture, learning their language, learning about their foods, traditions, everything...I will be able to use this time to teach them English and to prepare them (as much as you can anyway) for waht is to come in America. There is so much I am looking forward to it is hard to put into words.
Don't get me wrong, I am also very nervous. I don't know the language, I have never traveled abroad without Jimmy, and I will have two little angels to look after who's English is exceptionally limited at best. Talk about stepping outside of my comfort zone...It is a challenge I am both terrified and over the moon excited to embrace.....
I will take the laptop so that I can skype with the family back home. This will be the Boys first introduction to Ryan and Kennedy. I want their faces and voices to be familiar to them when we finally come home. Jimmy will stay in Ethiopia after court for two weeks, bonding with the boys, and then, as with Kennedy and Ryan the boys can skype with Daddy too.
Now if only we would hear about our court date!!!!!
