Today we made the trek to Milwaukee to be finger-printed....AGAIN....at the Homeland Security office. They will expire soon and since the process is taking longer than anticipated we need to have them current to bring our sweet Tirunesh home. Today we also received an update on her height and weight. It looks like she is growing just fine. She is still small for her age in weight. It is bitter sweet to receive these updates. I want sooo badly to know more about our sweet girl and while I am grateful for an update on her height and weight, I am sooo anxious to know more! What are T's favorite toys? what makes her smile and giggle? What are her favorite foods? What soothes her when she is upset? I could go on and on. This process is beautiful in so many way, but is also incredibly frustrating. It is so frustrating that our daughter is a world away and we can't find anyway to get to her any sooner. It is so frustrating that we have to wait for the entities in Ethiopia....the court closing in August means another month added to our wait. It is all so very frustrating. There isn't anything anyone can say or do. I so appreciate people just witnessing it with me. Sitting with me in the frustration and pushing me into the future of hope. So, on that note, I leave with photos of the boys and their cousins on the beach from our wonderful visit to Minnesota. Next year T you will be there too.
