Holding Steady

Donovan and I found out yesterday that a family working with our agency in Ethiopia just accepted a referral for a four-month old baby boy. They had sent in their paperwork a few weeks after us. As you can imagine, my brain has been mushy gushy since this discovery. Then…today we received a letter from AAI stating that there are “more babies than ever” coming to the orphanage and that families whose Dossiers were sent in late July are currently receiving referrals. Ours was submitted July 24th. Goosebumps. The countdown is on.
