Application Approved!

"Application Approved!"  That was the title of the last email I received from our adoption agency.  As of April 25th we have been accepted into the Ethiopian adoption program!  Which means we have exactly 30 days from yesterday to sign, notarize our contracts, and send in the home study and adoption contract fees.  We are estimating the entire adoption will cost about $35,000, so the payment we are about to make pails in comparison to grand total, but it was still a large enough amount to make me take one last deep breath before jumping in :0)  Without a doubt I know that we are taking the right path.  Our adoption agency said the papers were in the mail so I will be checking our box promptly everyday until those contracts arrive!
