We're Expecting!

Just got an email from our adoption agency that they went ahead and submitted our file to Ottawa for authentication a couple of weeks ago, even tho we were still missing a few documents ... so today our file went to ETHIOPIA!

We are now officially expecting!

Here is an excerpt from the agency about the wait times from this point forward:

We’ve been saying approximately 9-12 weeks for a referral of a female infant, but some families have been waiting upwards of 16 weeks for a female infant right now. We’re hoping this will change in the weeks ahead, but it’s difficult to say right now. From that point, we’re estimating about 3 months for your court decision to go through, and then the High Commission has said it could take up to 6 months to issue the permanent residence visa.

So - looks like it'll be summer, rather than spring, for our trip .... but maybe things will speed up.

Stay tuned!
