Officially on the wait list that is for Miles! I received a call from our adoption agency yesterday with the good news. They have received our dossier and everything looks good and has been sent on its way to Ethiopia. I talked briefly about the recent slow down in March when the case load went from 50 cases being processed a day to 5 cases per day. According to our agency, they are back up to processing 25 cases per day and they seem optimistic about Ethiopia's dedication to working through the corruption that has taken place there. She was not concerned about Ethiopia's government shutting down adoptions at this point. That is "Great" news!
So, this is what our timeline is looking like right now:
From dossier to referral: Approx. 4 1/2 months
From acceptance of referral to 1st travel: Approx. 4 months
From 1st travel to 2nd & final travel: Approx. 2 months
That means, we could have Miles home with us in 10-12 months. By next year this time we will have two new additions to our family! God is just amazing and I am honored that he has chosen us to be the parents of this two boys...Miles (Ethiopia) and Liam (China)!
Great news!! Can't wait to see the family God designed perfectly for you!:-)
ReplyDeleteOK. So... do I have the timeframe correct? You should be in China in about 5 or 6 months? and Ethiopia in 8 months (and then 10 months). WOW!!!!!!! Totally awesome!
