Last night about 9:30 we received an email from our agent Shimeliss stating that he is retiring and that the owner of small world adoption would be taking his place and finishing our adoptions. The new agent is Jim, he also sent an email saying that he has done thousands of adoptions and is planning to go to Ethiopia ASAP to get everything worked out. I emailed him to ask about the kids and if we needed to send money, he told me not to send any that they were taking care of the problems. I feel so much better, I feel like he is straight forward and is not trying to con us out of more money. I am really happy that they are already planning to go the Ethiopia and make our open cases the top priority.
It feels like a huge burden has been lifted off our shoulders and that our son is being taken care of. I think that we should be able to go back to Ethiopia very soon, they should be able to pick up the birth certificate and turn in our embassy paperwork and we should be able to go back soon. I am so excited!
I know it seems like this has taken a very long time but most adoptions take 18-24 months from the time the dossier is turned into the country, we just turn in our dossier in April I think so it has only been about 13 months. It has just been a crazy ride for us. We are so thankful for the opportunity to adopt and to give a child a home, we are also so thankful for what a blessing Liam has been to us already. We cannot wait to get him home so we know that he is being cared for and getting everything he needs (and more).
God is so Good!!!! I will keep you updated :)
