Today marks the one year anniversary of our dossier(LOADS of paperwork) being sent to Ethiopia to start our waiting period. At that time, the estimated wait time was 7-11 months and it seemed as though things were moving even a little faster than that. Now, one year later, our agency has increased the waiting period to 11-18 months.

We never imagined that we would still be waiting at this point. We knew going into adoption that things could change at any point and there would be bumps along the way. Aside from the wait time increasing it has been a smooth journey for us to this point. There have been many families ahead of us that have had incredibly hard roads to travel during this process. We know that we could have tough days ahead as well with court and embassy appointments still to come.

We are just so ready to see her face! I find rest in knowing that this is God's story and not mine. He knows how everything will play out...perfectly.
