We received a phone call and an e-mail from America World saying that we have been accepted in to the Ethiopia adoption program!!! When I heard the words "you have been accepted" you would have thought I just won the lottery, because I was so happy!!! And at that moment I was thinking to myself..."what am I going to do when we get the phone call saying they have a baby of us?" If I was that happy when all we did was get accepted into the program then just imagine how I am going to act when we receive our referral for our baby :) With all the excitement aside, we had to make our specifications known to the agency about what age and sex we were wishing to adopt. Brandon and I have decided to ask for a healthy, male or female, 0-6 months old. Once we made our specifications known they informed us that the referral wait time would probably be 4-6 months once our Dossier (which is a lot of paper work that has to be sent to the Ethiopian government) was received. After all of our conversations it is really starting to hit me..WE ARE REALLY DOING THIS!!!!
Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
When I got that e-mail/call, I did a little happy dance and had to call Garth at work immediately! I get more excited after every little milestone. I think will be running around the house like a mad woman when we finally get our referrals. :-)
