Chugging Along

It seems we are starting to put a dent in some of this paperwork!  We are hoping to have all of our Homestudy Paperwork done by April 19th.  That is when the girls physicals will be done.  We are waiting for a few things from other people and our Child Abuse clearances but hopefully by the end of April our Home Study visits will be arranged and maybe (hands folded in prayer) we can have our completed Home Study by the beginning of June.  

The UCIS has made some neat changes for adopting parents.  They have created a seperate division for processing adoptions and are hoping to shorten the timeframe for I600A processing to 30 days.  So if we can have our home study done by June we may be able to be DTE (Dossier to Ethiopia) by early August and get on that waiting list!  

Happily things are moving along for all the people ahead of us.  After a complete standstill and lots of court holdups families are beginning to pass court which means families are starting to see referals again.  A big relief to those people already on the wait list.

This process seems to alternate between moving so slow and flying by but it will all be worth it in the end!

Thanks for following us in the crazy, amazing journey!

Love,

Shannon
