Another hurdle to check off the list!
Today we mailed off our U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services petition to classify an orphan as an immediate relative. This petition, if granted, will allow our daughter to enter the U.S. with us on our way home. Also, when this petition is granted we will be put on the list for a referral of an Ethiopian child. This means that we will be sent information about a child that lives in a local orphanage that matches with our family. If we accept the referral then we travel to Ethiopia to go to court to ask for permission to adopt the child. Wow! It really feels like we are getting somewhere today!
