A day to celebrate

There are so many special days to celebrate as we look back at our journey of becoming a family. There was the day we saw Belachew's face for the first time, the day we got notice of travel, the day we met him, the day we arrived home with him. Today is the 1 year anniversary of becoming his legal parents. Our court date was April 16, 2008 in Ethiopia. We were not actually present in court and didn't meet him until 6 weeks later, but on that day, an Ethiopian judge officially approved our adoption, allowing Belachew to join our family. I remember waiting by the phone all day, anxious to hear if our case was approved. Here is my post about that day:

Now, one year later, we wait to be assigned a court date for Belachew's baby brother.
