Court: small setback

Birth mother showed up to court yesterday, but was missing a key piece of documentation that the judge needed.

She was asked to go home to Awassa (which is about 5 hours away) and deliver the doc to the orphanage director. Director will bring it back to Addis Ababa to our representative there. They'll bring it to the judge and we *think* that he will then give us the thumbs up at that time, as opposed to making us wait another month or two or three for another court date.

I hope to get confirmation on that part tomorrow. We think this will all transpire some time next week. Things in Ethiopia seem to happen on their own time schedule though.

So, not the best news, but certainly not the worst.
