We are now officially a WAITING FAMILY!!!

Our dossier was received today Friday, October 28, 2011 at 3:45 PM and signed for by Amele at Yeka Sub City in Addis Ababa!  This means that we can now call ourselves a waiting family and expecting parents of two beautiful children from the Le Toukoul Orphanage in Ethiopia!!!  

The average wait to receive a referral (documents with pictures, possible video, medical back ground, and history) is between six (6) and ten (10) months, but could now happen at any time since they have received all of the documentation need from us.  Our documents left Banks, Oregon, USA on Monday, October 24th at 11:41 AM Pacific Standard Time and was received in Yeka Sub City, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Friday, October 28th at 3:45 PM Ethiopian time.  Here is the journey our dossier took to get from here to there:



He lifts up a banner for the distant nations, he whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Here they come, swiftly and speedily! Isaiah 5:26
