Introducing....

 

BEFEKADUGETA ("KAD") MICHAEL WILLIAMS

 

 

We're so happy to announce that we completed our embassy interview this morning and finally heard the words we've been so longing to hear..."You're adoption is now complete and final!"

 

Not only does this mean that Kad is officially ours in the eyes of Ethiopia and the United States, but it also means that:

 

WE'RE COMING HOME!!!!   

 

Our flight will leave Ethiopia on Friday night and we'll arrive in Indianapolis on Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. EST.    Its so hard to believe that our adoption is final and our stay in Ethiopia is coming to a close.  These seven weeks in Kad's birth country have been a life-changing experience that we will always treasure, but we are so excited to come home WITH OUR SON!

 

Anyone who is willing to make the drive to Indy is more than welcome to come to the airport, but we also understand that its a long drive for a very short visit and we completely understand if you would rather wait and meet Kad after we settle in at home.  We'll be keeping close to our house for a while when we get back just to let Kad get used to his new environment (trust me...the sights and smells of Ethiopia are MUCH different than Haubstadt!), but we'll be sure to let you all know when he's ready to have visitors. 

 

Thank you all so much for praying us through this process.  Kad is truly a miracle and we are so blessed to officially be his parents!
