We moved to the next step!!!!

Yay!!!!! Our homestudy is signed...sealed .....delivered...and approved! We have moved on to the Ethiopian Program at WACAP and will be added to the waiting list for a referral for our new little guy! We are SO excited!

Still working on all of the paperwork...all of the authentications came back with the necessary seals from the Secretary of State, with the exception of one. The notary didn't do things exactly as needed, so the fix on that one will take a week or two....but all in all, the butterflies in my tummy tell me we are closer and closer everyday to bringing him home!

I am trying to maintain my composure....I want to paint and decorate, like bringing home a new baby!...breathe.....be patient....breathe....I know that the waiting could take months, but I want a picture of his face, and I want to hear the sound of his name,.....is it possible that the waiting will be easier once I have the referral with all of the details in my hot little hands? I guess for those of you out there reading this who know me, you are laughing hysterically...I am not, nor will I ever be even remotely close to being the most patient person in the world....

So...for now! Wow! We have made it to the Ethiopian Program in only two months!!!!! Fantastic!

This is exciting news! I don't know almost anything about the Ethiopian process but I hope you get your referral as soon as possible.
