Update on our case from the embassy~

Update on our case from embassy-praying we hear soon!  They should tell us soon if they are requesting a birth family interview and from what I understand like over 90% of cases are! Would love to be over there or home for Haile's 13 BD on July 30th! So, this is how we understand that it works-very different from when we did Seble's adoption.  The embassy will email us with the request for the birth family interview and then they will tell us what date that is.  We know that unless they need further information, they can clear us with in mere hours of this interview to come get our kids.  IF they do need further information, then the case will need to be investigated and most likely that means they send everything to Nairobi, which can add months to this process.  We see no reason why they would do this, but this is an option.  However, IF they clear us and we are good to come get them, the embassy will give us three choices for an embassy interview date (we go with our kids to the US embassy in Ethiopia and they ask us a few questions and then we wait a couple days for their official clearance to leave the country and we come home).  So, the 3 choices that we have could be like 5 days from the birth family interview, or more like 1-2 weeks out.  We respond with our 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices and then they reply and give us THE DATE! 
That is what we are waiting for and just praying that they don't need anything more (except maybe a birth family interview-which is super common now) and praying they don't send our case to Nairobi! 
The kids medicals and TB testing were all great-thanks for your prayers!  We will let you know!  Here is the update from the embassy we got this morning-and above is a picture that we got last week from Ethiopia-along with an update on our kids.  They are doing good, Bete had a stomach bug along with several other kids in the orphanage, but we got word that she is well now.
