Sorry we haven't posted for awhile (almost three weeks, to be exact!). We have been working on our house and continuing to wait. The army has a phrase ("hurry up and wait"). Well, we have really taken that to a new level. Things are on course for us. We expect to be going over to Ethiopia in late March to early April. Right now it is the dry season over there. They have a pretty stable climate (more so than Minnesota!), so we shouldn't experience any extreme weather.
Last weekend, our agency had their first family get-together. We ate Ethiopian food (delicious!) and had some great coffee. We got to meet the rest of the families and their beautiful children. So far, everything we have heard has been positive. We are continuing to view the whole experience in a positive and life-affirming way. After talking with the other parents, we are both eager to travel to Ethiopia. We will be the fifth couple to adopt through our agency. We are fortunate in that we will be gaining a "second family." (Our Ethiopian family here). We plan on being active in the Ethiopian community in the Twin Cities. We are also planning on learning Amharic (the most common language in Ethiopia).
Hopefully we will be posting more details next week. Once we get closer, things will be happening a lot faster, so stay tuned....
