It's official!! As of January 19, 2010...we are on the waitlist to adopt from Ethiopia!!!!
We are so excited. The current average wait time for a referral is 8 months for a child birth to 12 months and 4 months for a child 13 months and over. Since we are approved for a child 15 months and younger we fit into both categories. SO, we will just wait on the child God has for us and His timing.
Thanks for praying our paperwork through!!
