it arrived
Just wanted to let everyone know that our dossier has safely arrived to Ethiopia. It is being translated and we are officially on the wait list. Yeah!! The average wait for a referral is about 6 months for a girl, but we know that it's not up to us. We had a wonderful benefit dinner last night for Acacia Village which is a wonderful project we are supporting in Ethiopia. Learn more at www.acaciavillage.org. Again last night, we saw pictures of beautiful children from Ethiopia and even had the chance to meet a 2 year old little boy who was adopted from Ethiopia into a NC family that already had three children....just like us. The boy is precious and it was so warming to see him relate to his new and forever family. Adoption is an incredible thing and I am so thankful that our family gets to live this adventure. As I hear news, I'll be sure to pass it on. Please keep us in your prayers. With love....

Hi. You posted on our blog a few weeks ago. Congrats on being on the wait list!!
Where do you live in NC? A family in Winston Salem is having a cook out on May 31st for families adopting from Ethiopia. My email is bbritt3@triad.rr.com- email me if you would like info.- Hopefully, we will continue to get together as the years go by-I think it will be wonderful for our daughter. BTW-most of the families coming are on the wait list!!
