This morning around 3:30 am, while we were sleeping soundly with air conditioners ablazing, the US Embassy in Addis Ababa was working on Lidiya's file. They sent an email out to Gladney, of which we also received a copy, indicating the need for two additional documents that were to have originated in Ethiopia. Both are a reasonable request to ensure the ethics of our adoption, and we hope they are easily obtainable. But then again, not much in adoption is easy of late. We've reason to believe that, once these documents are provided, we will be cleared for travel! FIngers crossed...
In the meantime, we will spend today celebrating Maya's third birthday! She's been talking so much about Lidiya, going to get Lidiya in "Eefiopia", Mommy going on a plane for a long time, etc. She continues to kiss her pictures on the computer screen. Maya even thought Lidiya might be at daycare this morning when I dropped her off. That would have been a nice birthday surprise for us all.
