In The Mail!

Our Home Study Report is signed, and in the mail!  I’ll be tracking it by DHL to make sure it arrives.  AAaaa!   In other news, our agency has a yahoo group, and some private up to date pictures of the kids in the care centers.  We now have access to this vast information sharing base and the photos of the children.  So amazing to hear others stories, see who’s getting court dates and Embassy dates, and to see the beautiful faces of the children.  Things are happening!  

Home Study Report Complete!

Just had to say it!  Our home study report is complete!  Ready to be signed and mailed, to be united with our dossier documents.  And then shipped off to Ethiopia.  It’s all coming together, y’all!   There will be celebrating tomorrow.  Mark it down.
