Starting the Paper Chase

Well, I know that we have been moving slow for this new adoption but we are trying to space the girls out a bit so this way we really aren't pulling the hair out of our heads. Anyway, over the weekend we finally submitted our contract to our agency and our dossier prep fee. They received our packet today and now we are onto the paper chase. I ordered a birth certificate for me today and Keith is sending off for his tomorrow. Next week I am off of work so we are meeting with our homestudy to get that almost complete and I will be running around compiling our dossier. This time around everything looks like a breeze compared to Vietnam. Most likely we will have everything finished by mid-late March and have our paper work off to Ethiopia. It all seems real now.
Since our last post we have gotten all of Delylah's furniture for her room. We still need a few items to complete her room but all the furniture is in and it looks beautiful. We also painted so it is coming together nicely. This weekend we also worked on a playroom for the girls. Since Christmas Lennah's toys have taken over the house so we created a playroom/ guest bedroom. It was a guest bedroom that was one day going to be a gameroom but we figured it could be multi-functional for now. Once it is put together completely I will have to post a pic. We also figure that once the girls are a bit older and have sleep overs we can contain the mess in there because the girls could sleep and play in there and let the old folks sleep.
Well, now that the paper chase is on I will be probably posting more frequently.

Someone told us on our blog about a GA yahoo group of families adopting from Ethiopia. EthiopiaAdoptGA, I think this will take you to it.
