CHECK...CHECK...AND RE-CHECK!
These have been my best friends since we started the "Paperchase"!
I have practically put holes in them from recording dates documents were received, what needed to be signed, notarized, certified, faxed, e-mailed, etc.
Our agency, AWAA, America World has been fantastic and have provided a step by step guide to our process. Much different from our last experience!
So, I will pick up a check from the church tomorrow (we have an adoption account that our friends and family can give to through the church) for our dossier fees and then it will be off to AWAA.
From there, our paperwork will be sent to the US State Department and the Ethiopian Embassy and then after receiving all of it's approval and certifications, it will be off to Ethiopia. This is when we begin the "official wait" for our child. Not sure how long this next step will take but I will keep you informed!
P.S. - Thank you to those who have been asking questions about our process and praying for our family. It is wonderful to be sharing this journey with you all and share what God is doing in our lives! We are blessed!
