Yesterday, the 21st, we received our I-171H in the mail!! This is the formal document from the US Governement, approving us to adopt. Yippee!! Now this week, I have to get the documents sealed and sent off to be authenticated by the Department of State and the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington D.C. Once that happens, our dossier is off to Ethiopia and we are on the waiting list!! (This should take a week or two, I'm guessing. We'll see!!)
This is an exciting milestone - finishing the majority of the paperwork!! We know that there is a long time of waiting ahead but we are comforted to know that God already has planned the child or children He has for our family!!
Just caught up on your blog. Exciting!!!!
