Staying at Guest Houses in Ethiopia
http://www.ethiopiaguesthome.com/index.php?id=7 This is link about the Guest houses....
Today we reserved our accommodations in Ethiopia. We are staying at the Ethiopian Guest Home. We could not stay at House of Hope where Caleb is since we are bringing Kenzie and Brea but if we stayed at a normal hotel we could not have Caleb stay with us. :) At the guest houses we can have Caleb be with us 24/7 until we leave Ethiopia after we are united with him.....a must in my opinion :)
We have set a tentative reservation for April 5th to April 12th. If we do not pass court on March 23rd this will all change....Lets pray we pass court the first time! Jennifer :)

Court Date Call Came!
Our agency let us know that our court date is set for March 23, 2008. After that time Caleb is legally ours and we can post pictures! We then have a embassy date set for the ninth of April at which time we can bring Caleb Atnafe Harr home to his family and friends in Colorado! All the dates can change suddenly and until after March 23rd we will not be able to confirm our travel arrangements. Yet in the hope that our court date stays the same and we pass court....we are now starting to make our plans to travel to get Caleb in our arms.....
Harr Journey of Love
Ten years ago God put something on my heart....that I was to adopt an orphaned child. At the time I had two children ages 4 and 2. I did not know anyone whom had or if it was even a possibility then tried to let it go after telling my husband about my crazy idea of what we were meant to do one day.
Flash forward ten years... 2007. I then had four biological children ages 13, 11, 7, and 3....Ricky says well since you still have this crazy idea we better act on it now rather talk about it for another ten years. So I started investigating. Turns out adopting internationally is tougher than giving birth! After months of paperwork, training on how to parent (regardless of how many kids we have), and numerous background checks our Dossier finaly went off to Ethiopia to be matched with our future son.
On December 19th 2008 we finally got the call that were matched with our son. We two pictures of him and his health history. We had two hours to decide since CHI I was closing. We did not need any time because we already were in love in two minutes! The referral said his name is Atnafe, 10 months old, 18 pounds, 27 inches, and healthy! Now we wait for a court date and then our embassy date when we travel!
