Today our paperwork got sent by FedEx over to Ethiopia!!! Praise God!!! WOOO HOOO!!! So today is our DTE (Dossier to Ethiopia) date!!! Our yahoo group keeps an unofficial waiting list, so I think we are something like number 17 for a boy, 19 for a girl, and 5 for siblings. The average wait time is 4-6 months. We are obviously hoping for the shorter end of that. So if all goes well we will have a referral by the middle of November and maybe meeting our child(ren) by Christmas!!!! I feel like we have been talking about one day it will happen and now there is an end in sight!!! AHHHH!!!
Our official request is either gender for all- one 0-6months, twins 0-12months, or siblings 0-12months and 0-4 years!!
Let the real wait begin......
