IT. IS. GONE.

Our dossier is GONE! We mailed it two days ago to the "Assistant Stork." This is a courier service that will carry it to the Ethiopian Embassy in D.C. and the Department of State in D.C. to be authenticated. Then this courier will mail the authenticated dossier to our Agency in Michigan. We expect it to be in Michigan within the next 2 weeks. Then we will go on our agencies' wait list. I feel like I can stop and just breathe and rest.

What does the next phase of our adoption journey look like? Well, we will be on the wait list and waiting for our referral. We cannot say with any amount of certainty when we will receive a referral but our hope will be for a referral sometime this coming summer.

In the meantime, we will be reading books on adoption preparing both our hearts and lives for our new little ones. We will be doing a few fund raising projects. We will be continuing in prayer.

Thank you for your prayers and for joining us on this journey! We are grateful!
