And the decision is .... August 22! Yes, after some discussion (thanks to my commenters who brought up a very good point that we had not considered before), we are going with the August birthday for Kali.
We were actually given two different birthdates ... 11/10/2004 (most likely the date she entered the orphanage with the pediatrician assigned birth year) and 08/22/2005 (the birthdate given by her mother during a later interview, but obviously the birth year is way wrong!). We had been using the November birthdate from the time we accepted Kali's referral. But the August birthdate is the one that is shown on her Ethiopian birth certificate and passport. We will change the birth year, of course, since she is so obviously not about to turn 2!!
So when we follow through with the re-adoption, we will officially give her a birth date of August 22, 2004.
My dear nephew Soren, I sure hope you don't mind sharing your birthdays with your new cousin!
A family complete!

I say she is going to be 2 and she is just a brilliant child!
I hear only child prodigies come out of that orphanage :)
