November 6 - The day we received the call that our court date was November 15, 2013. Meaning we had to be in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia by Tuesday, November 13, and would meet our son for the first time on November 14!
We had a crazy amount of stuff to do and a short amount of time in which to do it! Haircuts were important. I didn't want the kids to appear "unkept".
Alexa needed a wardrobe overhaul. Finding clothes that were Africa appropriate as well "Alexa" appropriate proved itself to be quite the challenge - Especially enough for 10 days!
In addition to all the craziness, we decided to throw together a last minute fundraiser to "tag his bag". Friends sent donations and we added their names to his suitcase. We were so incredibly blessed by the donations and completely humbled by the outpouring of love, support and encouragement we received.
