Walker Party of 3: Ethiopia

Before our adoption is complete we will travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia twice. Once to meet our precious daughter and go before a judge in Ethiopian court (at the hearing our little girl will legally become our daughter). The second trip will be 6-8 weeks later. We will be interviewed at the U.S. Embassy, secure her visa, and finally bring her home!
