I am thrilled to say that our paperwork for the adoption agency is almost finished. Besides finishing our home study and background checks, we are about through with that part :) Yay....God had been good the past two weeks (no matter how stressful it has been). We have a decent amount of our dossier finished and will start sending those documents up to New York to be compiled and authenticated.
I am happy to say that we have contacted the Immigration Services and they are allowing Drew to get his fingerprints done before he leaves for training! So that means we should be on the fast track to getting our child from Ethiopia...woop, woop! If there are no big delays, we should be able to pick him up by the end of 2011. Weird to think that we may have a child in a year considering I am not pregnant and going through all the physical aspects but it is awesome to think that we will be able to help this child in need....God is so good and I caught myself today saying that out loud to our puppies :) lol...and yes, I do talk to our dogs.
I hope everyone has an awesome weekend and please continue to pray for us to finish the dossier and homestudy with flying colors. We are still not technically approved yet so hopefully in the next couple months we will be able to get put on that long wait list!
Love you all,
Jess
