Dossier in Ethiopia

I got some great news today. My dossier made it to Ethiopia. YEAH!

Officially Waiting

Today my agency representative let me know that as of yesterday I am officially on the wait list now that she has seen my dossier and it looks in order. Yippee!!! She said I am either #16 or #17 on the list. My dossier is now on its way for approval and certification at various places, including Oregon and DC, before making its trek overseas to Ethiopia. It will take about 3-4 weeks to go where it needs to go before arriving there.

Send it on its way

I am getting anxious to send all of my paperwork to Ethiopia. I am probably about three weeks away from getting it to my agency, and then it will take 3-5 weeks to get to Ethiopia. There it will be translated, reviewed, and all prayers answered, approved. Based on the latest news from my agency, once I am on the waiting list, it will take about 4-6 months for a referral.

Levi has decided that since we don't have a name picked out for our girl, that for now she is "our baby". I love how he calls her "our baby". He always does it in a sweet thoughtful way.
