In case some of you don't read our adoption blog I thought I would do a quick update so you know where we are in the process. We have not yet received our referral (picture and information on a child) so we do not know boy or girl or how old yet. We assume he/she is not born yet. This week will we finish up our dossier and get it out of our hands by the end of the month. We expect it to be in Ethiopia by the end of the month, and then it will have to jump through all the necessary hoops before we can get our referral. The process has actually gone a bit faster than first expected, and we're happy about that, but we know there will most likely be kinks and obstactles as we go through.
