We've known this day was coming. Every week we look forward to Thursdays because it seems to be that Thursdays are the magic days in Ethiopian adoption (at least for us). Thursdays are the days for decision making in Ethiopia for us. We have absolutely no control over anything except to watch Thursdays come and go. We've had exactly 12 Thursdays come and go. Now it's lucky number 13 Thursday. We knew we had one last hurdle to jump over that was taking place at a 7 am meeting in Ethiopia. That would be 10 pm Wednesday night for us. We were hoping for some good news after this last meeting and knew we would hear sometime soon. I didn't want to get my hopes up and kept thinking that we may not actually hear anything until Friday. But Scott had different ideas. He promptly started checking his phone for an e-mail from the US Embassy in Ethiopia at about 10:05 last night. I kept telling him that even if the meeting were over, they weren't going to be e-mailing us right away. The Embassy people couldn't be nearly as excited as we were and have no idea the wait that we all go through on this side. Anyways, we didn't hear anything at 10:05, nor at 10:45, 11:00, 3:00am until 5:30. We finally get to go!
