Adoption Update

I can hardly believe I'm typing this: My dossier is done!

I have put that giant pile of documents in a big FedEx box (too big for an envelope!), and have sent it off to my agency. (As a reminder, the "dossier" is all the paperwork and evidence of preparation and qualification that I've been compiling since last summer. It is kind of like a giant pre-approved application to adopt.)

Next step - it gets sent out for translation into Amharic (takes a few weeks, I think) then dispatched to Ethiopia.

Once it is officially delivered to the orphanage in Addis Ababa, I will officially be just Waiting!! (and should have my kiddo about about six months later...)

I've also updated my adoption timeline - it's current as of today!!

India and Lulu playing

sort of!
