Photos on the way!

Since we've had no news about our adoption, specifically, since our dossier went to Ethiopia almost two months ago... (except for problems with our fingerprinting - did you know typing a lot can "mar" your fingers and cause you to fail fingerprinting appts! not to mention, getting rear-ended in Oklahoma City when we went for the appointment, and having to amend our homestudy because there was a tiny error that the Homeland Security folks found, after sending the wrong fee to the Immigration Department, and addressing the fingerprinting application to an incorrect address - wow, who knew you could have so many problems with a fingerprinting appointment!) anyway, the rant is over :) But all that to say, our fingerprints have not passed yet. Not sure what that will mean for our paperwork already there. I'm not really sure about that. I think maybe it's most important when we're ready to travel. ???

We were contacted today by a family that is traveling to Ethiopia next week to pick up their new daughter, and we requested some new photos of Samuel and Lydia since they will visit our orphanage. So exciting! So we may have some new photos in three weeks or so. Plus, we'll be able to send Lydia a new letter from our family. We were able to send a small gift bag with a letter 6 weeks ago after we accepted the referrals, but we don't know if/when they got the gifts. Probably just recently. We also sent a disposable camera with the gift bag, so we may get those photos back sometime soon too.

Fun!
