Something went right!

Great news - our paperwork made it through the Secretary of State and the Ethiopian Embassy! It is now back at Adoption Associates. So this means it's getting forwarded to Ethiopia and we'll soon be in line!

The Ethiopian Flag

Alyssa's still praying for two sisters. Praying hard. I told Chris that he's going to have to have a good talk with God if he has any hope of a son :).



Yesterday I started - ugh - looking at minivans. Sigh. The stigma is killing us. But the practicality with three kids... and then the dog, and the luggage, and the camping gear... I guess this is to pay me back for all of the years of jokes about minivan moms (sorry all of you who are reading this!) Right now we're maybe considering a Town & Country or a Caravan. Hmmm...



So the next step for us is waiting for our place in line. In about a week(ish) our "overnighted" paperwork should get to the proper person in Ethiopia. Then we start getting some slight idea of what our wait might be. We're also looking for an easy phrase guide for Amharic.

Thank you for your prayers - and please keep praying for health, safety, and that the wait would be VERY short!
