Not Yet

It didn't happen. I checked my email first thing this morning and found a note from our agency that said the court hearing has been postponed until tomorrow. The message was a little confusing, but it sounds like MOWA, the Ethiopian government ministry in charge of women and children’s affairs, hasn't had power for two consecutive days and so had not written up their ruling to be submitted to the court. The courts told our attorney that they have until tomorrow, otherwise "another far appointment will be given!" That's a scary thought.

The good news is that the biological mothers in our group have given their consent. The note didn't go into what exactly this means, but I'm guessing this means that they have done what they can and don't need to show up again for the court hearing??

Our attorney in Ethiopia said it well, "What a challenging!!!"
