Looking up!

We heard from our agency last week that our paper work is in Ethiopia!!! We are just waiting to hear that we are registerd for a referral! Not much longer now. I would have bloged sooner but our computer crashed and burned after being attacked by a nasty virus. Our new computer is still not set up!! Oh well keeps our minds off of our wait for baby Davidson!

No News

We don't have news at this point.....however we are feeling a new sense of excitement! After all that has happened we have been pretty numb and the last few days it is starting to feel like this time may work. Our dossier is in DC which we are now being told could take up to six weeks to certify. Then it will take approximately another two weeks to get to Ethiopia and to have it interpreted and registered. She we have about 4 more weeks. HA! What is four more weeks. Please pray that we can keep our patients under control!! For now we are truly enjoying life, something we neglected to do over the last few years.........

Headed to DC

Our Dosser made it to Texas where agency reviewed our dossier and said it was perfect!! It is on it way to the Ethiopian embassy in Washington DC. From there it will go to Ethiopia where we will be registered!! We are getting so close!!!! It gets less stressful and more exciting everyday. Remind me of that statement when I seem frazzled....

On its way!!!

Yesterday at lunch I headed to the post office and overnighted our Dossier to Texas where our agency is located!!!!!!Once they receive it they will look it over one more time and send it to Washington DC where it will get authenticated by the Ethiopian Embassy. After that it will be sent to Ethiopia. This process will take approximately 3-4 weeks. Once it arrives it will go to the Ministry of health and they will give us an approximate wait time.....Lets pray its short!!

Dossier Complete

Our Dossier is done! On Thursday Wes's birth certificate was to be delivered to the Secretary of States office by 10:30 but it never arrived. I called UPS and they told me it was at the moment uncrackable and most likely lost. As you can imagine I was furious after loosing the first one in the mail! It did finally arrive at 4:50 but it was too late to complete until the next day. Since UPS does not deliver on the weekend we just got it today. I was going to mail it to our Ethiopia coordinator tomorrow but she is moving offices this week so I will have to mail it on Monday. At this point, what is one more week?? We are so close!!!!!!!!

UPS the better way to mail

Yes......The certified copy of Wes's birth certificate is truly lost in snail mail heaven. I had to reorder a new birth certificate and I overnighted it yesterday to the Secretary of states office in Wyoming. I paid to have it overnighted via UPS back to my front door step. This is a guarantee. I guess I should have done it this way to begin with but they told me they have never had a prob em in the past. Not anymore.....I should have the new certified copy by Friday!! Ha I don't believe it!

Snail Mail

Well....we still don't have the state certified copy of Wes's birth certificate. I would imagine it will be here in the next day or so and if not, it is lost. This is causing me a great deal of stress!!!! Where is it??? If I have to reorder his birth certificate and then send it off again.....Ohh lets not go there. Let pray it comes tomorrow.
