I got an email today from my adoption agency that stated "Your dossier was sent to Ethiopia today! Congratulations! I hope you and your family take time to celebrate the paperwork portion being completed. Now the really hard part begins…waiting!" So this means that now I get to sit back and wait for Ethiopia to match me with my son or daughter. During the paperwork process I had to fill out a form that stated what I wanted my child to be like (skin color, hair texture, age, and they want at least 5 medical problems). So that makes everyone's adoption paperwork a little different. I could be the only person who said that I will take a child with orthopedic problems and therefore get a referral soon or I could be one of a hundred who stated low birth weight and end up waiting a long time. It looks as though my adoption process is still on track for traveling next summer. I will continue to keep everyone updated on the process. Please keep this adoption process in your thoughts and prayers. International adoption is not guaranteed and the country could shut down all adoption or single's adoption at any time. The farther along I get in this process the more realistic it is that my baby is sitting in a crib all alone waiting for me to come get him or her.
