A Special Thank You

Although we had decided to adopt from Ethiopia a few weeks ago we were not officially in the program until our agency received our updated home study. Therefore we did not have the information we needed to begin working on our home study. Also we thought we had to wait to change our i-171h which we have now found out we may be able to wait until we actually receive a referral from Ethiopia. What this mean is that we are now in a mad dash to get our dossier done ASAP and with Christmas just a couple of days away we don't want that to delay anything.

So today Mike and I began contacting people for paperwork we needed. To our amazement all 3 of our references and both our employers completed the letters we need for our dossier in just one day.

I would like to say a very public THANK YOU to these people. We are lucky to have such special friends and family.

Isn't it great when your friends step up and help out in ways you never imagined!

Good luck to you both! I'm sorry that it looks like we won't get to travel together after all. :( However, I do hope that you receive a referral very soon and that your child has been waiting for you all along in Ethiopia.

Merry Christmas, and have a happy new year.

Mike & Shelly,

May God bless you in your adoption Journey.

We know how tough it is as we are entering our second year of the process from Vietnam.

From Vietnam to USCIS to our agency, it has been one delay after another.

The only saving grace has been the fact that we were blessed in 2002 with a little girl from Vietnam.

I pray that Ethiopia is a wonderful experience for you.
