after weeks of prayers...hundreds of prayers...for our adoption to start moving again, it has finally happened!!! on wednesday, september 21st, our paperwork was finally accepted by the american embassy in addis!!! we are on to the final stages of bringing our little girl home!! i cannot tell you the relief i feel at knowing that we will have her home (hopefully) in the next few weeks!! i am allowing myself to miss her with full force again...to look through her things and anticipate her here...in our arms...with our family.
