Sometime last week Brad called to tell me the check we had written to a courier service and then given to Children’s Home along with our last set of paperwork (seemingly eons ago) was finally cashed. That could mean only one thing, and today I confirmed it with CHS – our dossier has taken its transatlantic fight to Ethiopia on 12/11/07. I hope it got at least two packages of peanuts, that is a long ride.
In the real scheme of things, it doesn’t really mean too much. I’ve been told they send the paperwork in batches ‘sometime’ during your wait, with no real particular order. So, although it isn’t really any kind of indicator that we are any closer to receiving a referral, it is still nice to know a little piece of us, albeit an authenticated, notarized, translated into Amharic piece of us, is sitting on someone’s desk in Ethiopia. The forms we so dutifully filled out are probably within an approximate 500 mile radius from my little-one, as opposed to my 8,000 mile radius.
Baby steps, people, baby steps.
Wishing everyone a joyous holiday.
