The Wait

Welcome to our journey to Ethiopia! Doran and I felt the call to adopt again in the fall of 2008. Since the adoption agency we used to adopt our daughter Mya didn't have an Ethiopian program we started researching other agencies. After some time we felt as if Adoption Advocates International was the agency for us. We mailed our application to AAI in November and started the paperwork. After six months of filling out forms, background checks, fingerprinting and a homestudy we were ready to send in our dossier. Our dossier was sent to Ethiopia May 12, 2009 which officially put us on the waitlist for an infant. The adoption process takes lots of time and patience but as we experienced in our first adoption it is so worth it! We feel so blessed to be on this journey and cannot wait to hold our baby in our arms.
