Has it really been a month since I last posted?
It has been a difficult month to do any writing for a few reasons. First, it is winter and I am a pediatrician, so work has been pretty busy and the work days have been long. Second, my partner was out of town for a couple of weeks, making work even busier (it's o.k., though, because she will have to cover for me when we return to Ethiopia to bring our son home). It was actually a blessing to have the extra busyness at work, since that will help as we are facing the last chunk of adoption expenses.
One of the other large reasons that it has been hard to write is the waiting. We are anxious to bring our son home, even more so since we have been to Ethiopia and spent time with him. It is strange to have a child halfway around the world. There have been a couple of delays since we passed court in early November, but we now seem to be getting close to getting U.S. Embassy approval and being able to return for him.
I'm sure I'll have more to write soon.
