We found out the our dossier was sent to our agency's National office yesterday. From there it will go to the Embassy in DC where it will be legalized. It will then shipped to Ethiopia where it will be translated and sent to MOWA (Ministery of Women's Affairs) and the various orphanages that our agency works with to await a referral. We are at a point where we won't hear much information from our agency. It's just a waiting game now. Thanks again for all your prayers.
Oh how EXCITING! So glad to "meet" you and am eager to follow your adoption process. Cam and I waiting for our CIS paperwork to be approved and then hoping to get our dossier in the mail as soon as it's finished.
