An Introduction

Greetings -
Kenneth and I are very excited! In just a few hours we are going to meet some other families that are also in the process of adopting from Ethiopia! It is one thing to sit up at night and read blogs of families on the process. It sure will be something different when you can put names, faces and families with the process.
We will be sure to let you know how it goes!

Acceptance Day

Greetings -
As I sit here tonight I have had the great pleasure of spending the last few hours reading a blog and following a familie's story about the same trip we are about to take! Today at 4:38pm we received the official acceptance into America World's Ethiopia adoption program!!! So now we let the paper pregancy begin. Along with the news of acceptance we were given the first of many pieces of paper that need to be signed and sent to the agency! And of course we signed immediately and it is ready to be mailed in the morning!

The Choice Has Been Made ~

So after much research and even more discussion Kenneth and I have chosen the country of Ethiopia to bring our new little one home from. The reasons are long and based on so many things but we both agree that our time at Disney (and opening Disney's Animal Kingdom) that Africa holds a special place in our heart. We hope to share more about the country in future posts so that you to may feel a bond to a country a world away!

Day One!

Well it is official as of today we have begun the adoption process! Our application and application fee have been secured by our agency and now we wait! It is an awesome thought that in as little as 9 months Kenneth and I could be parents! What an amazing journey God has started us on.
