YEAH! WOOHOO! YIPEE!! After 11 months of walking through adoption, we finally submitted our dossier. For those who have walked this road and for those who may have walked closely with someone who has adopted, this step is a big one! Essentially your dossier is a summary of your life. Everything from tax information, birth certificates, physical exams, letters of reference from friends and numerous other things. This packet of information goes through our government in the US and then once approved gets sent to Ethiopia to get sifted through and approved by their government. As soon as this is all done, you start standing in line! I say standing in line because my very visual brain sees it this way. We will be given a number and each week or every other week or once a month we will get a new number and move up in the line. Once you reach the top 5, "the call" could come at any time. "The call" is just that, a phone call from our agency with a referral. By this point they will have found a little boy who matches our age range and we will learn as much as is known about him. We then have 48 hours to accept or reject this referral.
I just want to say again Thank you! Thank you for continuing to support us in this. Thank you for praying along side of us. Thank you for being the shoulder we lean on when things are frustrating or seem bleak. You truly are helping us bring our son home. We love you and I will try to update more!! (AHH! I've been so bad, but truly nothing exciting has been happening until now.)
Much LOVE!
