We are approved. Our life (well, at least the written version of our life!) is being transported to America World Adoption Agency in Virginia. There it will be reviewed to make sure that all the information needed for Ethiopia is included. The home study will be sent back to Hope’s Promise where it will then be sent to our Colorado State office.
At that point we will patiently wait (hopefully for just a week) to get our letter of approval and then we can make our appointment to get fingerprinted. Once those fingerprints are completed we will wait patiently again (this time up to 60 days) for our immigration form. Once that comes back, the dossier will be complete and we will be able to send it to Ethiopia and get put on the waiting list.
We are praying that the letter will be here before the second week of June when we head to Florida for most of that month visiting Matt’s mom.

I was born in Jos, Nigeria many years ago. I spent the next nineteen years living in Liberia, Kenya and Ethiopia.
WooHoo! Another step forward. I’m so excited for you.
