THE ADOPTION FILE IS BACK!! I brought out our adoption file today as we are opening a new adoption. Yes, that is right, we are bringing home a little sister for Tess (and Cameron,Bennett and Christine). When God lights a passion in your heart he really sets things in motion!! We are under a confidentiality agreement regarding our new daughter but I can tell you she is 6 1/2 years old.
SO what does this all mean...
for now it means LOTS of paperwork. I have been told that very little can be re-used. All new documents must be notarized and gathered and basically we are starting from scratch...to those of you who have done this...YIKES...you know what this means!! Head down, nose to grindstone paperwork! We are looking at about 4 months of paper pushing before our dossier goes to Ethiopia. Then we are told about 6 months from then...so just after the summer...we're going back to Ethiopia to get another sweet little girl!!
Keep those prayers coming to keep her safe!!

That's wonderful!! Is this a little girl that you met while you were in Ethiopia bringing home Tess?

So exciting!!! Ethiopia just fills your heart, huh? Fortunately, we were able to re-use most of our paperwork, so we are moving really fast! Does Tess know yet?
