All paperwork in!!!

All of our paperwork made it to the national office in Grand Rapids, and was forwarded to Washington DC early this week. As soon as the paperwork is authenticated (I'm still not sure what that means) they will send our dossier to Ethiopia and we will on the list for a referral. The referral can happen quickly, or take several months. Of course we hope for quickly, but are not planning on it. What a relief to finally be at this point in the process.
