Our agency called at 8:30 this morning and announced that our son passed court! They’d been telling us “definitely tomorrow” for almost 3 weeks so this was a pretty big deal. The kids all started jumping around and chanting, “John passed court! John passed court!”
John (his chosen American name) is legally a Corkum which also means we can now post pictures of him all over creation.
So without further ado, meet our son, John.
He’s amazing at soccer.
He loves family.
He’s great with Ty.
Now the wheels start to turn to get him a court decree, birth certificate, and visa. Then he can come home with his sister!
Hi, I am Beth Raley ‘s mom, we met John when we were in Ethiopia and just loved him. So happy he has a good family to love him.
Im so happy and relieved for you all. Maybe we will meet in Ethiopia after all! We are back there on the 16th for about ten days.
this is great news! it’s it’s great that he feels passionate about a hobby (soccer). that, hopefully, can make a transition easier, laura suggests??
