Today is literally the 1st day of the rest of our lives!!! Today we faxed our application for our homestudy!!! We are not the most patient people in the world, we are used to instant gratifications so this will be a challenging process for us from day 1. An adoption for a child under 4 from Ethiopia takes about 18-24 months so we know we have a wait ahead of us. God has a plan for everything and the timing will be perfect! We are so excited, I actually said I was going to try to stop telling everyone about our adoption plans because I feel like that is all I ever talk about, so for those of you who have spend hours on the phone listening to me talk and dream about our soon to be child "thanks!"
We have no idea what to expect, I have talked to everyone I know that has adopted and asked them which agencies they used, what the process was like, but it seems everyone has something different so I am sure we too will have a different story to share in the end. So far we know we have to have a homestudy, we have to submit it and our application to US Immigration and then we have to decide on an agency. I googled agencies and requested an information packet from the top 7, we have started to compare timelines, requirements, fees, etc. We are praying very hard that God will lead us to the right one.
Keep Praying!!!!
