Our dossier is officially done and on its way to the US Department of State. I cannot believe that I actually got it done and its not sitting on my desk anymore! It should be on it's way to Ethiopia by the end of the week for translation and approval. We are still waiting on news about the girls paperwork, and will hopefully hear something soon. This being patient thing, it's hard.
We also sent off a package yesterday to a friend of our agency who is traveling to Ethiopia on Saturday. She is going to pick up her precious little one and will be visiting the girls at their orphanage. We sent coloring books, crayons, a fun beaded necklace and bracelet for each of them and some new pictures. We also sent a soccer ball for the orphanage. We hope they have fun with it!
Please continue to pray that the paperwork will move through the Ethiopian system smoothly and that our girls are safe and well taken care of.

How wonderful that you get to send little gifts to your girls!
Now how long will it take once they have this paperwork? I believe this milestone was the beginning of our "4 months of silence" when we adopted Evan. I hope you do not have to go through that.
Are you still thinking about 3 months with all the changes?
Yeah. Me too, me too! Just dropped it off an hr ago at FedEx.
lori-
there is still paperwork that needs to be processed on the girls end. So we are praying for that to happen fast. God only knows- our USCIS approval is only good until February 2009 so it HAS to be before then!!
Oh, I hope it is well before then!!!
I can't wait to meet your girls.
Wow, you have been a busy girl Becky! How wonderful to be freed for the dossier madness and to send off a precious gift for your girls!! Your day to travel will be here before you know it!!
Blessings,
Christine
