One down, a lot more to go

We hit another small milestone today... we sent in the last portion of our Gladney application! We will not be officially accepted into Gladney's program until our home study is completed and approved, but it was still a huge blessing to get it all done in just under 3 weeks.

So here is where we are at now:
1. We are waiting to have our home study scheduled - which is taking quite awhile we've been told. We are expecting to hear from them in the next three weeks or so.
2. We are working on our dossier - which is all of the paperwork that will be sent to Ethiopia.

Once our home study is complete it will be sent to Citizenship and Immigration Services and we - and all of our housemates - will be scheduled for fingerprinting. Once we receive our CIS approval our dossier can be sent over seas. Soon thereafter we will be on the waitlist! That sounded so simple didn't it? ;)

Please continue to pray that this process will keep moving along smoothly. Thanks for all of your concern and prayers!
