We received some crazy news this week. Ethiopia made a new law that went into effect a few days ago that all adoptive parents must be in person for your court date and your embassy date. This means we must go to Ethiopia twice! As you can imagine, this is big news because of the cost of flying to Ethiopia isn’t cheap and the extra time away from Zeke and Selah. We don’t know many details, but we do know that both parents are required to be present for the court date….not sure about the embassy date. Previously only 1 parent had to be there for the embassy date and bring your child home. CJ and I both were planning on doing that, but this change most likely won’t allow us both to go each time.
So right now we are processing this all and what it means for us, and waiting to find out more specific details!
Hope to know more soon!
