Dossier Complete

DRUM ROLL.....Our dossier is completed!!!  I mailed it off just after 7pm at our local fed ex. We missed tomorrows delivery deadline, but at least it will get to Kate by Thursday morning. BTW, Kate is taking care of all our document authentication.  I decided to use this service because I couldn't take any more paper pushing. I'm over it.  I'd rather fork over a few more dollars to have it done for me. It is so worth it. She's already picked up errors on other documents.  

I'm hoping that we will be able to report that we are on waitlist very soon. I'm not sure if I will count down the weeks until referral on this blog.  I think that would drive me crazy. Kind of like watching grass grow. I'll just find a way to pass the time away, and hope to have been to Ethiopia and back by this time next year.

In the meantime, I will totally enjoy getting ready for the holidays, and attending the inauguration in January. (I'm trying to get tickets to something, heck anything. I'll let you know how it goes).  We are also in the process of some serious decluttering.  After that is done,  I'll start working on our Ethiopian babe's room.  I'll post pics when I start.

It feels so good to be so close - you will be on the waitlist in no time!! That would be so awesome to get tickets! We are contemplating a trip to DC just to stand on the mall during the event!

Congratulations on finishing your dossier! The first big step out of the way! I'm so jealous - I'd love to be able to attend any of the events in DC on 1/20th. Amazing to be a part of history - have fun!

Thanks for all the well wishes guys! I'm just so happy to have that completed.
I'll be sure to post pics of the inaugural festivities.

Congrats!!! I’m right behind you, Kate has most of my documents just waiting on the final home study and CIS approval.I have faith and I’m believing that I will make the wait list in December.
