Another successful court date!
When you adopt from Ethiopia, you have to re-adopt the child once you get back to the states. So, on September 14th we headed to court and Amanuel officially became Elijah Amanuel. We will receive a new Washington State birth certificate with his new name sometime around December. Then we can apply for a certificate of citizenship. And then on to his social security card. I'm not convinced the paperchasing ever ends! But, of course, it's worth every second.

CONGRATULATIONS!
Yay for re-adoption. Congratulations!!!! There was a time when you thought that day may never come:)
Congratulations!!
Yeah Eli! He is so handsome :)
We just started the ET process. In fact, we just had our HS Orientation last week where the social worker said to do the re-adoption about a year or so after bringing home our child from ET. Did you guys wait or do this shortly after getting settled?
He is absolutely adorable and growing like a weed! What a blessing!
