Next Babies Update

As many of you know Darin and I are in the process of adopting 2 more of Gods precious children. Our agency emailed us yesterday that our application is on file and that we need to fill out the contracts with Ethiopia and CCI.
Our dossier (all of the paper work needed to adopt) is good in Ethiopia for 2 years and since it was authenticated last June we still have a good 14 months until our dossier expires. So all that we had to do for our paper work was update our home study. We had Ruth our social worker come in February and we are just waiting our our clearances from child protective services and I believe our state wide back ground checks. Once that is done we will send our updated copy of our home study to USCIS (this is that agency that allows us the paper work to bring orphaned children into the US) and then we will send the original copy of the updated home study to the Secretary of the State in Indianapolis, and from there it goes to DC, from there to Ethiopia. :) So we are just waiting on a few small things and then the ball really gets rolling:)
When we were doing the paper work for Claire we literally got all of that done in one week. So that is where we currently are with the journey! We still at this point could get our referrals (pictures of our babies) anytime. So please keep our sweet children on your prayers.
