Travel Consult

Clint and I went on Friday the 17th to get all of our vaccinations for our trip to Ethiopia. We both have had some shots when we traveled to Ecuador in 2005. I still had to get 4 shots and Clint only had to get 3!! We also will be taking some oral meds such as a malaria drug when we travel. Malaria ia actually not a huge risk right in Addis Ababa, but if we travel further south into any villages, we will be at a higher risk.
The gils need to get all their shots yet and so I would like to do that before school starts. This week!!

Waiting to talk to Cheryl at AFAA this week about the referral. I looked back at all my "saved" emails from AFAA. On May 30th I received an email from Catherine at AFAA stating that we were #1 on the "either sex" referral list. We were #8 on the girls list. Catherine and I had a long talk that day and I told here we had never specified which gender we wanted. Either sex was what we had put on our original application and also what was written into our home study. That was 2 1/2 months ago!! So does that mean that they have not gotten any referrals for 2-5 year old sibling groups in those 2 1/2 months? Cheryl needs to call me back and answer these questions. I wish I had never heard the original timeline of "referral by April" and "kids home by July or August", now that seems so long ago! I know it will all happen very fast when it happens. Still waiting!!!

Your blog looks great! Where do you find the time. Thanks to you and Clint for your generous time and hospitality to Bobby and Amber, it certainly changed their perception!
