Dossier is off to Ethiopia!

We got some exciting news today from our agency that our dossier was shipped to Ethiopia yesterday! YAH!!! There was a bit of confusion about the age of child (we said infant boy, but our notice indicated a boy 0-2yrs), but I am sure that will be resolved easy enough. We are officially on the wait list and were notified that referrals have been received by people whose dossiers went to Ethiopia in Jan. of 2007. We can check back each month for progress. Our wait will depend on how many people are requesting infant boys ahead of us. I know we have a long wait ahead of us, but I am so excited to be at this next step in our journey.

A little package also arrived in the mail Monday. The package contained an Ethiopian doll we ordered for soon to be big brother E. E seemed a bit timid when dad and I held the doll and rocked him then asked E if he would like to hold him and feed him a bottle. E settled into the rocker with dad and did a professional job of holding the bottle. I know he is going to be a great big brother!
