Happy 4th of July!
We hope you all had a great holiday weekend.
A couple of new developments since our last post.
We received word that we were turned down by Shoahannah's Hope for a grant for our adoption. So, we will receive no financial assistance from them. We hope that this means that they are helping lots of other families who need more financial assistance than us to adopt orphans throughout the world.
Hallelujah! We received our I-171H approval last week. YAY! Now, all we have to do is finish 10 hours of DVD training (something new they are requiring), an infant care class (also something new), and go back to the Sheriff's Department (ugh...yes, I know), and we will be ready to send our paperwork to Ethiopia. Unfortunately, we weren't able to work out anything as far as the notary at the Sheriff's Department, so we will hire a traveling notary to go with us some time this week. She also has to go to Philip's doctor's office to have a letter notarized (They don't have a notary in their office.) saying that Philip is healthy enough to be a father. Once we get all of those tasks completed, we will send our paperwork to the adoption agency to make sure that we haven't forgotten anything, and we should be all set. So, hopefully, in the next couple of weeks, we can say that the paperwork is finished.
Thanks for all of your love and support. Have a great week!
