We're so thankful for few days off to relax. It's been fantastic getting to celebrate Thanksgiving with some of our family and having their help as we prepared for the first meeting with our social worker. We've got three more meetings with our social worker and then we're set to work through the huge stack of paperwork that goes with our dossier. Once we complete our dossier, we'll make our way on the official un-official AWAA Ethiopia waitlist. The current waitlist has about 70 families waiting for infant girls with an average wait time of 15 months. We're hoping that the changes in the way that the Ethiopian government is processing paperwork doesn't change the wait time too much. If all goes as expected - which is so doubtful :) - we can expect a referral and travel to Ethiopia by May 2013.
