It's a 3 Yr. Old!!!

We received and accepted the referral for our little girl yesterday-- yeah!!!! She is 3 yrs. old, healthy & absolutely beautiful!!! We are unable to email or post her picture and name until everything goes through court & she is legally ours! They are in the process of getting the court date scheduled right now, which will hopefully take place in the next 4-8 weeks. Once we have "passed" court, we then travel there shortly after to pick her up & bring her home! We are sooo happy & excited and can't wait to bring her home to meet her new family & friends :)

Referral Coming Soon!

We have been receiving updates from our Case Worker & are hoping to receive our referral within the next couple of weeks... much sooner than originally expected! We are beyond excited & anxious to see her picture, find out how old she is & receive all of her other information! Upon accepting the referral, it is generally a couple of months before everything is finalized (provided everything goes smoothly). We are optimistically hoping to be able to travel there sometime this summer to bring her home! We'll see :)

Waiting for Referral

Our dossier arrived in Ethiopia last Monday. It now has to be reviewed & approved by the Ethiopian government in order for them to match us with a child and send us her picture and information (the referral). We are hoping to receive this sometime soon!

Welcome!

Welcome to our blog documenting the adoption of our little girl from Ethiopia! Thank you for sharing in this incredible journey with us to bring our daughter home!
