Our dossier documents have been approved and sent to dc. We are now waiting for them to be translated to Amharic and sent to Ethiopia which should happen in two weeks now. Once we are notified that they are in Ethiopia we are officially waiting!

Couple of other notes... there are something like 18 families waiting for a girl and 13 for a boy. A new regulation at the US embassy just popped up indicating adoptive children must be TB free before traveling to the US. we are not sure how this will impact the wait, but have been told probably 8 months to wait... Before we didn't mind the wait, but now I can see it may be much harder than we thought. We're so excited!
