I sent off all the paperwork today!
What's next?
We wait for about two weeks until all of it reaches Ethiopia. Then we wait for a referral call or email saying that they have two little boys or a boy and a girl for us.
Then we wait for a court date...
Then we travel over there to get them.
Time frame?
I have no idea! We could have them this summer or this fall. There are so many factors in international adoption that you are to expect the unexpected.
I feel "paper pregnant" as one of my friends referred to it. I don't think I will even have to wait 9 months...AND I won't have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom:)
If you can't tell...I am really excited!

Woohoo!! Paper pregnant - I love it! It will be so exciting to see God grow your family and to meet those precious little ones. So happy for you and BTW you look so great in those head scarfs. : )
Congratulations!! I am so excited for ya'll, and am praying for God's perfect timing and provision. Thank you for living this out: "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction." (James 1:27) You have exhibited the love of Christ and power of the Gospel by caring for the orphan. What a beautiful display of Grace! In Him, Pastor Matthew
