Katie, Tim & Cale Nester...

...would love it if you would follow along as we record our adoption journey. We feel blessed to be called to adopt a son from Ethiopia!
About our journey:
- We requested "either" gender, 0-18 months.
- We received our referral of Megersa on Nov 5, 2009; he was 2 months old.
- Megersa's name is pronounced "Meh-gur-sah."
- Our case was submitted on Dec 18, 2009 and our court date was Jan 27, 2010. We were fortunate to pass court on the first try!
- Tim's mom and I left for Ethiopia on March 8, 2010 for an Embassy appointment of March 10, 2010. We passed!
- Megersa met the rest of his family in the US 3.13.10.
- When we re-adopt him, his full legal name will be Megersa Jace Nester.

all clear!


Megersa's case is "in the clear" (for the time being anyway). I got this email from one of our agency directors:

Hi Katie,
Here is an update from Gail:

Also he (Temesgen – AAI Legal Representative) spoke to the orphanage lady from Shashemene to finalize the paper for Megersa Nester quickly. She had forgotten about it.......... that paper is clear, only for the cover letter, and shouldn't take long either now.
So, there does not seem to be a problem with the paperwork and it is on its way to being completed.
Thanks for your patience.


The way the staff writes is often confusing to me. I'm sure they all are busy, busy, busy, so they probably don't have the time to pay special attention to punctuation and proper sentences, etc...which make it a bit confusing to read.
But even still, I could tell it was good news!
Lets keep praying for the cover letter to be complete and for our case to be submitted next week!
That would be such a lovely early Christmas present!
