We had an hour long phone conversation with our new caseworker today! She kind of gave us the low down on what happens from this point on, now that we are "Gladney Approved". She will be the one that gets to give us the exciting call when our referral comes!!! For those that don't follow Ethiopian adoption blogs, that means, that she will call us and say.... "I have your referral!!!" And from what I hear, you immediately start FREAKING OUT!!! She will then email us all the pictures that they have of our little boy and all the medical records that they have for him. Oh what a JOYOUS day that will be! This is fun people, really fun!!! Paperwork, not so much. But now.... it's EXCITING! I see a light!
So anyway... for now, we are waiting on our letter from CIS that gives us our fingerprinting appointment. Looks like maybe that appointment will be about a month from now. That's judging from someone that is about 2 weeks ahead of us in the process that lives in our area. Thanks for the info Summer!
Good times people, good times!
