Yesterday morning (at 7:18 to be exact) I got an email with the words "Case recieved" in the subject line. I was pulling in to work (yes, I was checking my email compulsively since I knew we were supposed to be submitted today) and burst into tears as I called the hubby.
The email read:
"Dear Wayman Family,
Congratulations! Your adoption case has been submitted to the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia..." The email went on (it was very long!) to explain the process the Embassy goes through in proving that a child is an orphan.
So that was our amazing news for the week! We don't know how long it will be before we're cleared to bring him home (some have been days and some have been months), but we're ONE step closer to seeing this precious face!
If you've cleared Embassy recently, please feel free to leave a comment and share how long it was from the time you were submitted. Happy Friday y'all!
