Today we found out that our dossier was *not* sent to Ethiopia on 11/13/08 as we originally thought. The last Fed Ex pick-up at our agency's office is 4:15PM, so it was actually sent on 11/14/08 instead! No biggie in the big picture of International Adoption, but it was good to know this info-I'll want to have the right date in our new baby's Lifebook!
Our adoption agency welcomes monthly phone calls from families who are waiting for referrals-just to see where the families might be in terms of the waiting list. We did not call in December, and we were not going to call this month either, since we know we still have quite a wait. Well, I caved and sent an e-mail. Having been through an International Adoption before, we know they cannot give us a definite timeline. They have no way to predict when a given waiting family will be matched with a child. So, we found out today that our dossier was technically sent to Ethiopia on 11/14/08, and that, you guessed it, we still have a long way to go!
Stay tuned.......................
