Accepting referral!

Truthfully we already knew in our hearts that Denekew is meant for our family, but now we are making it official! I can't believe it's more paper work! At least it doesn't look too long and tedious.

In the mean time I've sorted through all the tubs of saved baby clothes. And set up and scrubbed the high chair. And started working on getting Jag's clothes into the other dresser so that Denekew's clothes can be in the changing table dresser. And getting the last of our moving boxes unpacked and getting rid of stuff we don't need or use. Basically, you could say I'm "nesting". This is great; I never had this much energy when I was "nesting" during either of my pregnancies!
I'm still trying to talk Caleb into letting me set up the crib, though!

We received a referral!

Today we received a referral of a baby boy, Denekew, he will be 2 months old later this week. Legally I can't put up any pictures. But he is adorable! Ocean says "He's soooo cute!" From here we will be making a formal acceptance of the referral and then waiting for a court date in Ethiopia as well as a US Embassy appointment. We will travel to Ethiopia for the US Embassy appointment. We can't believe this came so quick. We haven't even been on the waiting list a whole month!
