Anniversary

Posted in home by KT
Jul 15 2009

The next month is filled with anniversaries for us – we got the best news of our life in stages last summer, starting with 7/15/08, when, at 7:49 AM, our adoption dossier was finally delivered to Ethiopia. Eight months of paperwork gathering, 75 notarial signatures, tremendous amounts of cheque-writing and hoop-jumping (did you know we had to become legal foster parents before we could be approved to adopt from Ethio?), and finally, we spent a tense few days refreshing the DHL tracking screen, over and over again, waiting to see the phrase that would officially start the wait – “Shipment delivered, contents; Dossiers”.

We have tons of updates – finally, birthday pictures, and pictures of G4 meeting the kids, and grandma entertaining them, and that will be posted later this week, but for now, its time to celebrate the most magical, stressful, crazy-making and best year of our lives, starting with the first official milestone in the adoption process.
