We Got It!!

The best call in the process so far came this afternoon around 4:15. I have been carrying my cell phone around ALL day!! I heard it ring and just had a feeling this was it. Sure enough...it was our case worker and she called to say our paperwork was approved and we have officially moved to the waitlist. Number 86!! I literally screamed out loud. What an amazing feeling!!! She could not tell me how long the wait will be at this point, but she did explain a little of the process. So, for now we will continue to fundraise and just get ready for THE CALL telling us about a precious little girl in Ethiopia.

Attempt #2

Well, our dossier arrived at our agency on Monday, February 28th just as we planned. I received a call from our case worker that the documents were safe and sound and she would review them on Friday. What a long week!! She called on Friday to let me know that several documents had to be re-done. We had to get some documents re-notarized and some things re-written. I was bummed!!!
So, David and I spent all this week running around town on our lunch hour to get this stuff taken care of. I overnighted the documents today. Hopefully, if everything goes well, she will get them tomorrow around 10:30 and we will hear something tomorrow afternoon. This process is a rollercoaster for sure!!

Please also be in prayer for the entire adoption process in Ethiopia. There is a possibility that the adoption process will be reduced and could extend the wait time significantly.
