We have finally finished all of the papers!!!!! As of a week ago, we have completed all of the paperwork for the Dossier. Paul and I went to the post office last Monday (after I got angry that we could not go the VERY day we finished-the Saturday before..). Why did I get angry? I'm pretty sure it is because I love to be in control. The quicker I could get the paperwork to the post office, the quicker we would have our children..right? God still has a lot of work to do on me. He will continue to make me more like Him for His glory and will use times like these to do so. As we took the stack of paperwork (and my life the past 8 months) to the post office, I felt anxious. Paul prayed for it that it would arrive safely in Virginia (to our adoption agency) and that God would give us the grace to trust Him. It's kinda crazy that we literally have no control over what happens from here. Our side of the adoption process is complete. We are simply waiting for God to show us our children. So, the agency will send our paperwork to Ethiopia this Friday (the 15th) and the wait begins! The money is all in place up until we receive the referral for our children. Who knew we would have $7,700 to send with the Dossier? Where did that money come from!?! The shirts have all sold, friends are supporting us continuously, the Lord is moving hearts to give generously....it's so amazing. Praise God!
