It's Official!

Wow! We can't believe that this day has finally arrived! We are now officially a waiting family for a sweet baby from Ethiopia. We have been waiting for this day for over three years now. It is surreal to think that our little one has been born half a world away and we are only a few short months from being able to meet him and hold him in our arms! Jack and I made the call to our agency together this afternoon to go off hold. We had to meet at the Federal building to be fingerprinted for the second time for some of our adoption paperwork. After we were done we called our agency. We are hopeful to maybe get a referral by Christmas only because we have been on the list over a year now. We are praying our little one is home in our arms by May, when our paperwork expires!

Beautiful Day!

We have been so blessed by amazing weather today. My good friend S came over today to take some 6 month pictures of Aaron. It was so nice we ended up going outside to enjoy the afternoon and take some pictures. It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next week and we were outside today with no coats on. Here is a sneak peak of the pictures that S took today of Aaron.

Waiting....waiting....waiting

For the past three years Jack and I have been in the process of adopting a baby from Ethiopia....for the past year our paperwork has been in Ethiopia and we have been on hold...for the past 5 months we have been waiting to go off of hold so that we would be eligible to receive a referral of a baby...we called our agency today to see if we could go off hold this month since our file expires in May...we were told we need to wait until next month....and so are waiting again....
