Months have literally flown by. Someone needs to warn you about that when you have kids in school, a job, sports and everything else that mom-hood involves.
After working on our dossier for MONTHS, we finally have it finished and submitted to our agency. We are on the waiting list... sitting at about #78. Not that this means a lot, since it's not like #1 always gets the next available child. It's all dependent on what each family is looking for. We could be the next one or we could be two years out.
Some updates on Ethiopia- there is a lot more paperwork required right now to adopt a child from Ethiopia, this greatly slows down the process. The average wait time through our agency is 18 months currently. However, a orphanage that our agency works with, will no longer be working with them anymore, so they are only able to pull kids out of two orphanages currently. This will also slow down the process until CHI is able to find more orphanages to partner with.
In the mean time, we wait patiently (or not so patiently) for the call that we have a referral. In the mean time, pray for the children in Ethiopia who desperately need adopted. For our family as we wait on our baby to come home. For the children who have a waiting family, but paperwork has slowed their ability to come home.
