So, the Embassy was closed this afternoon in Ethiopia due to a new building ceremony (Seriously, how many ceremonies and holidays can one place have in a month??). Our documents will be taken over first thing tomorrow morning. We should hopefully know tomorrow or Wednesday when we would leave (being optimistic).
We also found out that there was a woman working at our son's original orphanage who had told a few families that they would get money for the relinquishment of their child. This is the major reason for the hold up, besides documents in other cases that were not correct. The families that were told they could get money were actually not given that money. All of them told the Vice Consular Chief last week that they would still relinquish their child. I can't imagine getting this far and having to find out now that this was the case and that she'd take him back now (that could have happened). My heart sank as they were going over this information on a conference call this morning. Thankfully, we didn't have this happen and we will be leaving very, very soon!
