I haven't written much about our latest adoption. There has been a lot to keep me occupied with my other six kids, and I have been in a blogging slump. And we weren't really expecting anything much to happen until late this fall at the earliest.
Until two weeks ago...when our agency asked if we could be ready to appear in court in Addis Ababa on August 5th.
We said "yes". Then scrambled like mad people to make it happen.
His Ethiopian name means "perfect", and he is. We chose the name Carlisle to honor my dad, who passed away two and a half years ago. We plan to call him Lisle.
He is ours and we are his. Family. We can't wait to bring him home to meet the rest of his forever family.

On August 5, 2014 the judge said that he is ours.
