ETHIOPIA!!

Well, a lot has happened since our last post. To make a VERY long story short...over the summer our journey has changed directions. We are now adopting, with the same agency, from Ethiopia!!! We are so excited! Our hearts have been drawn to this region due to the extreme circumstances that devastate this area. Ironically our World Vision child (who we have supported for the past 7 years), Tesefenesh, is also from Ethiopia. This change has not put us behind any, we are actually moving along a little quicker. We now have USCIS (federal) approval, which is a big step. We are now working constantly on our dossier, which is a packet of notarized and certified papers that will go to the government of Ethiopia. We hope to have this complete in the next month or two. We wanted to thank everyone for their continued support and prayers as we continue with this process!!
