Already Moved Up the List to #21

Wow! We've been on the list for 2 days and already we moved up!! Now we are #21 on the baby girl list!!! Hooray! Thank you, Lord!!

The Orphanage our baby will come from.

We found a web site for the orphange that our baby will come from! It's really exciting to get a glimpse of their heart for kids! It is called Sele Enat. www.seleenat.com

2010 really may be the year we adopt our baby!!!

It is such a relief to be done with ALL OUR PAPERWORK for our Ethiopian dossier. It was actually fairly easy to do, but it was a consistent committment that has taken our focus for the past few months. And now we are DONE. On the wait list (2 wait lists) and closer to our baby!!

So, the update is that we are #22 on the "baby girl" list and #6 on the "siblings" list. Being on the Siblings list was a recent decision - and not one we are totally committed to yet. There will be a lot of praying and talking before we decide for sure if we are ready to add two beautiful children to our family right now. I asked Nathan what he thought, and his answer was - if one of them is boy!!!

We will get updates regularly as we climb up the list. They estimate to be able to match us within 8 months. I have been reading other people's blogs and have been pleased to see how frequently they are moved up! I guess this may really happen.

Not sure when I'll get over this feeling of this whole thing being unreal. surreal. Maybe when I'm on the plane? Hopefully sooner.

I can't believe the goodness of God! I am so blessed that He has had this plan for me and my family!!
