Yesterday we received news that our Embassy date would be pushed back 2 additional weeks and worst case scenario up to 4 because the US Embassy is relocating. We cried, prayed, cried more. Then we got active....
We contacted every person at the US Embassy possible, senators, governors, etc to get to the root of everything. Come to find out there was more to the story and our case has not been handled the way we assumed it was. As of now the documents are being hand delivered on Monday and we are hoping we should still be able to fly out next week, and attend the original appointment. When you mess with a Johnson, you mess with fire. We were not about to accept another delay getting the busy home with out a fight. We were up at 2:00am, since the hours are so far ahead in Ethiopia trying to take care of matters.
We are praying for a miracle!!!! Waiting another 2-4 weeks would break our heart and be so hard physically and emotionally on all involved, particularly our tiny babies. Join us in prayer for a quick safe journey.

I wish I would have talked to you guys before freaking out yesterday, calling the airline tickets, and changing our tickets. :( I'm so beyond bummed!!! Our tickets are now changed, and now there is no way we can afford to change it back. So beyond sad. :(
ReplyDeleteLeah, We tried to change as well, but there was nothing available yet, besides waitlisted tickets. We are praying for miracles for all families involved!
ReplyDeleteNikki, I'm so sorry. I wish there was something we could do... you and everyone else involved are in our prayers.
