Dossier On Its Way!

Today we found out that our dossier is on its way to Ethiopia! It was sent out yesterday and I would think it would make it there within a week. We are now officially waiting for a referral!

We also recently found out that Bethany is in the process of finalizing contracts with two orphanages they have been working with in Ethiopia. If they can finalize these agreements soon, then our referral process could go much quicker. If not, our wait could still be up to a year. I know God's timing is good, but that seems like a very long time to me. Please pray with us that the agreements are solidified soon so that the kids in those orphanage can start to be adopted soon by Bethany families.
