We feel like we are finally making some progress on our second adoption, as we recently received approval for our homestudy. The next step is to submit the homestudy to US immigration services to get approval to adopt internationally. Once this is complete we will be able to submit all of our paperwork (the dossier) to Ethiopia.
Something that we haven't shared with everyone, yet, is the fact that our homestudy has been approved to adopt a child 4 through 9 years of age! We have prayed fervently over the last few months about this and feel led to proceed in this direction. We know that there will be plenty of challenges that will come along with adopting an older child and adopting out of birth order, but we also know that there will be many blessings.
We look forward to sharing more about this unique journey back to Ethiopia in the days to come. . .
