Hallelujah!

Gigi is excited too!
Cue the hallelujah chorus - our dossier is in the mail! I sent it out last night, and I am so excited!! This means that we will officially be "in line" once it has been received and reviewed. I am certain that there will be a few corrections to make - such as I forgot to inlude a check :) But, this is a HUGE step.

Fingerprints


Today is the day that we will drive 3 hours each way to get fingerprinted. We laugh about this because my husband has done work for the FBI and been fingerprinted, and has taken hunter's safety classes and been fingerprinted; so, he figures that "they" could just access some of his fingerprints on file. But, alas, we must make the trek to Nashville for another set of prints. Oh well, it's okay because it is one more step that brings us closer to #5.

Ethiopia Bound...



Well, our big news is that we are heading to Ethiopia for our fifth child! Since we used a blog for our adoption of Gigi, we thought that it would be fun to start a blog for this child. We would love to have you follow our journey and pray this baby home, too. We are only at the beginning of this process, so you will have to hang around for a while :) Here are a couple of photos with Gigi getting excited about being a big sister.
