We received news yesterday that we already have a court date scheduled, which is SUPER fast. It is so fast in fact that our agency advised they have never seen a court date be provided this fast before. We received news of our referral just one week prior (Friday 4/30), and sent in our acceptance paperwork Monday 5/3, which was promptly sent to Ethiopia. It usually takes anywhere from 2-6 weeks to receive a court date, and they processed ours in 4 days (including an Ethiopian holiday)... and did I mention that Ethiopia is about 1/2 a day ahead of us?
Anyway, our court date is June 2, 2010. If all goes well, we will become the legal parents of our precious Ethiopian princess while we are sleeping the night before (since they are 1/2 day ahead of us). We likely won't receive the news indicating whether or not we passed court for a few days, but we'll certainly be on the edge of our seats that week.
Upon receiving confirmation of passing court we will then receive our official travel dates and be able to begin making our travel arrangements. It's still looking like we'll be able to travel in July to bring her home.
