Washington D.C.

Our documents are on their way to Washington DC to be signed by Condoleezza Rice herself...This should take about a week and a half, then the papers come back to our agency. Next step is the dossier goes on the DHL truck to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia! Total time from today til DTC (Dossier to Country) will be about three weeks!!! Which means we could be sent pictures and paperwork on what children will be ours anytime after three weeks!!! Kari at Dove said that we are right on target to travel in December or January...What a ride!!!! Some people need sky diving or bull riding, being shot out of a canon or fire walking for excitement...Call us crazy all you want, but this is pretty darn exhilarating!!

Hooray!!! It was so much fun to get together yesterday! We'll do it again soon. Glad your kids enjoyed my kids. :) And my kids DEFINITELY enjoyed your kids - all that swing-pushing and see-sawing! :)

Hugs, Kerith

Is such a great feeling isn't it! Congrats on being almost DTC - it's almost as much of a rush as getting the referral phone call. Best wishes for a speedy process!

Congratulations. We are with Dove also. Our dossier went to Ethiopia on June 13th..but we haven't received "the call". We are requesting one daughter 10-18 months.

Kiddos are going to be with you before you know it!And remember the last two weeks before you travel...will be SO hectic, and EXHILARATING!

Welcome to our site! We hope you enjoy the information we share during our adoption journey. As we document this wild ride to bringing home our Ethiopian children, we hope you'll fall in love with this beautiful country as we have.
