Delivered

 What an exciting day! Our dossier has been officially delivered and signed for!! Although our journey is not yet complete, it feels as though we've crossed a mighty rushing river and are now only inches away from holding our child's hand.

Our special Thanksgiving gift.

Our Dossier made it all the way to Ethiopia!!!!!!  It made several stops along the way from New Jersey, to Paris, to Dubai, then to Ethiopia!!!!!   What an awesome gift to recieve for Thanksgiving!!!!  Jimmy and I have a lot to be thankful for today.  Even though we don't know who our baby is yet he/she more than likely is already born. We will be thinking about our baby today praying that God will keep him/her safe and  flood him/her with HIS love.  Thank you to all our family and friends that continue to support and pray for us.  Your love is overwhelming, but greatly appreciated.  Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Away we go!

 Today is the day! As we speak, our dossier is boarding a plane bound for Ethiopia! I hope it doesn't suffer too much jet lag - it's going to be BUSY once it arrives!! :)

We Did It!!!!!!!

We finally completed our dossier and sent it to our adoption agency today!!!!!!!   This is such a big weight lifted off our shoulders and we couldn't be more excited!!!!!!   The dossier will be with the adoption agency for 2-3weeks being reviewed before it is sent to Ethiopia.  So now Jimmy and I will begin the waiting process.  I feel like I'm a pro at waiting, hopefully that won't be as painful as getting the whole dossier together. I was so excited to get rid of all this paperwork that I made the girl at the UPS store take our picture,  she probably thought we were a little crazy!!!!
