Sorry

So for those of you who have had my blog address I must apologize.  I forgot what my sign in name and password were.  OH WELL!!  I started a new blog and have copied and pasted the first posts into this blog.  I sure hope that I remember the sign in and password this time.  Okay so back to business.  I got my homestudy last week and mailed off my second mailer.  This is the mailer with all of the notarized papers in it.  I sent it FED EX overnight and I was so nervous that it was going to get lost.  Thankfully it did not get lost and my dossier specialist is very impressed with my homestudy and other paperwork.  She is going to send it off for finally approval which should take 2-3 weeks.  Once she gets final approval she will send it to Ethiopia.  Yay!!!

I talked to women who is 4 months ahead of me in her adoption and she had great words of encouragement for me.  She actually just got back from a mission trip to Ethiopia and told me that she visited all of the orphanages and she was very impressed.  She said the babies would reach up for her to pick them up which is a good sign that the babies know what being held is.  She also said that there are a lot more boys than girls and since I said that I didn't care if I got a boy or girl that I would most likely end up with a boy.  Oh man, another boy in the house, just what I need!! 

I will keep you all updated on any further progress. I am sorry for the change in address.

more later
