Nov 25, 2010 2:26 PMDeliveredKIRKOS SUB-CITY, ADDIS ABABA ET - while most of us were enjoying turkey on Thanksgiving day...our dossier was delivered to Ethiopia. Now that is something to be THANKFUL for!Just realized how long it has been since we have posted an adoption update…
Recently we have been getting many questions from friends and family about the current status of our adoption. There is not much news to tell. We are in the waiting phase of the adoption process. Unbelievably we are not feeling anxious (at least not yet!). Rather, we are using this time to prepare ourselves for a huge life change – our family of two becoming a family of three. It is a thought that is both exciting and scary. We are reading books on the ins and outs of adoption. There is still so much to learn! We expect to have more information and a referral sometime in the early months of summer.
In the little free time that we have left we are beginning to plan our baby nursery. This is a step that has caused the adoption to feel more “real”. We are preparing a room for our future son or daughter! So far we have been given a hand-me-down crib from our brother and sister-in-law. We purchased a dresser this week from Craigslist that we plan on giving a facelift with paint and new hardware….pictures to come in our next blog.
Once again, thanks for your kind words, thoughtful prayers and many other expressions of support.
