ok everyone finally new stuff to post!!! we had the homestudy appts these past 2 days and yippie!!!!! all done approved. So in about one week we will be getting 3 copies of the completed homestudy packet all notarized and pretty. We will be keeping one, sending one to the us goverment, and the other goes with the dossier to Ethiopia. Lets hope this all goes smooth and quick :) After we get the application from our goverment and the dossier is excepted we will get moved to the waiting list for our refferal!!!!! OMG! its actually starting to happen. We will see how things go from this point with the current families in the process in regards to the second trip or staying over there for the 2 months. It seems as though they are really trying to discourage people from wanting to stay the duration. I guess they havent got to know me yet because I am not an easy person to discourage :) anyway I will keep you up to date on any new info we get
