The Next Baby Steps

So, for those of you following this, you may be wondering what is next.  To be honest, I am kind of thinking the same thing.  I have been taking things step by step because I am not exactly sure what is required of me to pass the next step.  I know that we need to get our home study done.  Hopefully, we can do that in the next couple of weeks.  I would love to have that done before Thanksgiving, but it is hard to say if we can make that happen.  Then, we wait for that to be finalized and we file our immigration papers.  That basically is permission for Troy and I to adopt from Ethiopia.  Once we get that, our dossier is complete and we submit it to Holt who sends it to Ethiopia.  We get placed on a waiting list and we wait for a call!  Once we get that call, we travel to Ethiopia for one week and while there, we meet our little girl and go to court.  Hopefully, we will pass that and then we go home.  I believe that we are here again for about two months.  The last step is to go get our daughter and bring her home!  That last part is the best!  Thank you again to everyone that has supported us thus far.  You have no idea how much this means to me.
