Today marks an exciting milestone in our adoption process as we have finally (after 5 months of collecting documents, attending classes and having our home study conducted) turned in our dossier! Now for the waiting. Our dossier will have to go through several steps prior to getting to the Ethiopian courts. However, just knowing that we have completed everything that we are responsible for is a huge relief. Every day that passed as we were working on our dossier was one more day that we would have to wait to meet our son.
It's kind of cool knowing that today, August 3rd and our 14th wedding anniversary, is the day that our dossier is complete. It is a little sentimental...who knew that 14 years ago a union began that would produce two beautiful children and another one soon to be added to our family. We have been so blessed and know that our blessings will continue as we turn the page to the next chapter of our life story.
Prayers are requested during this "waiting period" as we are anxious to meet the little fellow...but, also know that it is all in God's timing.
"Let your patience show itself perfectly in what you do. Then you will be perfect and complete and will have everything you need." James 1:4

I can't believe that all the paperwork is done! I will be praying about this difficult waiting period. I am anxious too to meet the little guy that will be added to your family soon. What a wonderful example of living God's word!
