On hold!

We are on hold right now with the adoption process. We are still waiting to see if we are going to be moving or not before we can complete our home study. The home study is a big step in the adoption process and until we can get that done we are on hold. Gladney is our adoption agency and they are ready when we are to complete it. We will know by March 23rd if we are moving or not and then we can move forward with our home study. Yea!
Also, on a conference call today with the Ethiopian team at Gladney I learned a few things. The wait time for our home study paperwork to be completed will be 4-8 weeks after the actual study. Then there are still many other details that need to be in place before we are placed on a waiting list. And, once we are on a waiting list the wait is about 6 months average right now in Ethiopia. Then when we accept a referral it is another 4-6 months before we can bring the child/children home. This puts this into a little more of a "real time" for all of us. I just wanted to share that with all of you. We pray daily for these children and can't wait to meet them.
