At this point we have started the paperwork/preparation process. Wow! this is a lot of work! Worth it of course :) As I write this we have completed all of our initial applications and paperwork for our homestudy and are waiting for interviews to begin in the next several weeks.
The next step is to have a homestudy interview. Once our homestudy is complete it will be sent to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to be translated and then we will be considered for a referral (prospective kiddo :))
We are praying to add a sister or brother to our family, but we are also open to a sibling group.
It will be hard to say no to any child we are presented with, so please pray that God gives us discernment and presents us with the one(s) He wants right away :)
I want to thank everyone for being so supportive and curious about our family and this process, as this is an exciting time for us and our loved ones.
Looking forward to following your journey!
