We received a notice from The Office of Homeland Security. Usually, that would make people a little nervous, but not us! We are excited because it is one step closer to our kids. This form is an I-171H which is the approval for petition to adopt orphans. This immigration paperwork has been transferred to the Ethiopian Embassy in Addis Ababa. The days continue to go by and still no word about the referral. Everyday I want to call and make sure there is no news. But, I try to be patient and I keep picking things up whenever I go to the store, like puzzles or stuffed animals, or flashcards! The next thing I am going to concentrate on is getting the rooms painted. Wish I knew the sex of the children, so I can decorate accordingly. But in the BIG picture I know it does not matter what color the walls are!!!
Aaron left on Wed morning to head back to Cornell. We already miss him and wish we could
see him more often. I know his last year will go so fast.
Erica is continuing to work at the bank and will be starting an MCAT course in November. So she is still moving in the direction of medical school. We are proud of her for staying on course.
Bailey and Sierra are getting ready for school as well. Bailey has been practicing Volleyball all this week. She is sore and has troubles with her toenails. YUK! Sierra is getting ready for her junior year and excited about her art classes and I think is a little overwhelmed when you mention future plans after high school.
So in the meantime, we are enjoying our kids, staying busy with the practice and of course, STILL WAITING!!!
see him more often. I know his last year will go so fast.
