Next paperwork stop....Addis Ababa, well almost!

We got a call from our agency today telling us that we forgot to sign a form and that my employer forgot to sign something too. But hey, we sent them 38 notarized forms and 25 pgs of education, so that's not too bad. If this was school I would have gotten 96%! I am going to get the missing signatures from my employer and get our stuff all fixed and resend Monday morning. So instead of our papers heading towards Ethiopia tomorrow it will be next Wednesday. No biggie! I KNEW I would mess something up! I guess our papers needed to be in just a few days later in God's timeline! That is my new motto for this adoption. When something happens I am choosing to believe it is just lining us up with the perfect baby! :)


But we are so happy to know that we are about to be on the notorious "wait list". In the mean time we are just waiting for our fingerprinting appointments with the FBI and then I guess Lance and I will just sit and stare at each other for the next 6-7 months until they send us a picture of our baby! ;)


Other than that not much else going on. I am wrapping up my last two weeks at my job before I make the switch to my new job. In between jobs I will have 3 weeks off!


On Jan 28th I am heading to Atlanta for an adoption retreat (Created for Care). I am going to have 3 days to sit and soak up wisdom from christian women that have been at this for a long time! I am rooming with a sweet girl that I have yet to meet, but that has two little twin girls that she adopted domestically and they are SO CUTE! I am so excited to meet this new friend. God aligned our paths in a really cool way and I think we are destined to be friends.


I will need to post about the SUPER cool story about even getting into this conference some other time. But it was nothing short of miraculous! :)


I thought I would add a few pics of Jane's Christmas toys from her family for all to see! I'm thinking she already has a pretty big fan club. And of course some pics of my fav little man Max. He has been a sick little munchkin and it is SO sad! But of course, still 100% cute as can be!!!


That's all for now. I hope everyone is enjoying their week post Christmas!
