Waitlist!

Matt and I found out that as of yesterday we made it onto the waitlist for our adoption!! My heart is just over flowing with excitment. So what does that mean to be on the waitlist? That means that Matt and I will be waiting and waiting until we receive a call saying they have a referral / baby for us. The referral includes pictures, developmental info, and any medical info that they have. Currently the average wait time for an infant is 8 months..but it could be shorter or longer than that. I am so excited!! So after we accept our referral then we get a court date in Ethiopia which will be a couple of weeks later (we do not have to be present for the court date). If we pass court then the baby is ours!!! Sometimes people do not pass court on the first time due to several reasons. So after we pass our court date we make plans to travel over and pick up our baby. Yeah!!

    Congratulations and welcome to the waiting list! Found your blog on the F.B.I. We've been on it ourselves for 5 days! :) How can eight months seem to close and yet so far away?!?! Excited to be following you as we go on this journey together!

    Do you know other people in the Winston area adopting from Ethiopia? I have 2 friends who are in the process and one friend who has had her baby home for almost 2 years. We need to form a group. My boss is in Ethiopia right now meeting her little girl. I work at Forsyth Country Day School.
