Immigration update

We got a notice from USCIS last week granting us "special needs" approval to adopt, the last piece of paper we were waiting for!  Now we wait to hear final word on our embassy appointment.  The agency said we could pretty much plan on June 16, but we won't make travel arrangements until the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa issues us the date for certain.  We are tentatively planning to fly out on Saturday, June 12 and return the following weekend.  Right now we are in a flurry of activity trying to get the kids' rooms ready... purged all old crap (there was LOTS of it!) last week, painted both rooms, got rid of old furniture, still figuring out new furniture, reconfiguring closets.  It is really overwhelming, but I have to keep reminding myself I still have 8 weeks to get it all done.
