Last night we had our Orientation call with Kari from AGCI. She just went over the entire process and what will happen after each step is completed. She said that since we are asking for an infant that the we can expect to be on the waiting list for about 4-6 months if not a little longer and then about 3-5 months after that to travel. Matt and I are at peace with that because we know that it is all in Gods timing. Our next step it to get the contracts signed and mailed back.
Katelyn is getting very excited about her "baby sister"! She has no desire for a baby brother. The only tiny problem is she keeps saying that the baby is in mommys belly. (A couple of her friends in pre-school have mommy's that are pregnant.) We keep reminding her that our baby is in Ethiopia. Then she understands. (Well as much as a 3 year old can understand)
For now everything else is the same. Still working on finishing up Matt's den and patiently waiting for spring to come to Pennsylvania.

I was just getting ready to post that "you really should post something every single day" because I check this thing every single day, very anxiously! LOL
It sounds as if things are running smoothly and that in LESS than a year you will have a beautiful brand new baby BOY (sorry Katelyn, but it has GOT to be a boy)!!!!!
If we didn't have so much time on our hands we wouldn't have time to read all the blogs from other Ethiopian adoptions and wouldn't have learned so much already!! It is so exciting to know each step takes us closer to your baby. You are so right that it is all in God's timing and it will be the BEST time possible when it finally arrives. I'm sure at first we will think another time would have been better and we'll stress and complain but after it's all done and we look back we'll see it was just perfect!! Relax and enjoy each step along the way.We love you.
