Some Milestones

Hooray! We have officially been accepted into the Ethiopian Program at Children's Home Society and Family Services!!! Also, we have a date, January 24th, for getting our fingerprints at the Department of Homeland Security. This means our dossier (approximately 30 pieces of paperwork needed to show we would be able to provide for a child) is almost complete! By my prediction our dossier could feasibly be done by next week... which means that we now have a 4 to 6 month wait until we receive a referral (information regarding our child) and then travel 2 to 3 months after that. Very good news!!! It is hard not to put an exclamation point at the end of every sentence :)
