Submitted to Embassy

Today we found out we were submitted to Embassy!!! AWAA tried to submit us last Wednesday, but they were missing a paper in the morning, thankfully we were in country and we rushed over to the AWAA office, signed the paper and they tried to submit us again. When the AWAA employee went back, the cashier was gone for the day. Thursday was a holiday and they don't accept paperwork on Fridays. So since we had been partially submitted on Wednesday (our agency's designated day)we were allowed to be submitted on Monday! We are so happy that we are on the last leg of this journey! We have LOVED our time in Ethiopia, but we are really missing home too.
So the US Embassy has 7-10 days to review our paperwork and decide to clear us to come home or investigate more. Another AWAA mom that is in Ethiopia waiting now too, talked to Jeff, the US Embassy adoption man and he said they are trying to review the files in 2-5 days. He said there was a chance we could be home at the end of next week! I'm trying not to get my hopes up, because nothing is for sure in the world of adoption! But I'm excited to think we will be home, with our son, soon!!!!
