When? That is the hardest question to answer. I have asked it many times myself, but the truth is, nobody knows until it happens. A child has to be placed in an orphanage and found "adoptable" before the orphanage can notify our agency. The agency is given a list of children who are available for adoption, in the form of a referral, and then the agency goes down their waiting parent list. There is no predictable timeline that any of these steps happen. So we wait! We are currently number 53. That number doesn't mean much though because different families are waiting for different ages, sex, special needs, etc.
We are trying to make the best use of our wait time by reading lots of books about Ethiopia and parenting adopted children. MTM and I also went to get our immunizations last Friday. 3 in each arm! Charged us $450 each for them. That is like an extra shot in the arm. Just doesn't seem right, does it? Good news is we are armed against all diseases known to mankind. JK!
I hope it won't be long before I have exciting things to tell!
Until then,
DMM
