Accepted

We are in the process of adopting a child from Ethiopia. It is a very exciting time but also stressful. The emotional side of this experience is probably as difficult as the physical side of being pregnant with a child. We are very ready to have another little one and hope the process moves quickly. We just heard two days ago that we have been accepted by the adoption agency we are working with. Yea! So now we need to send in more paperwork (basically a contract and formal application), half of the agency fee, and then we can start our home study. The home study is a series of interviews/visits from a social worker of a local adoption agency. They will help us gather all the necessary documents and make sure our family is fit for this adoption. We are ready to do all this ASAP but will have to wait until our finances are ready. Hopefully this will be the case in the next couple of months. The whole process should take 7-9 months which means we will travel to Ethiopia and have a new baby before the end of this year, God willing.
