Another Journey Begins!
Last week we made the decision to switch to our agency’s Ethiopia program. When we began the adoption process last year, we were considering Ethiopia but our agency had just started the program and we felt more comfortable going with a program that was already established (Vietnam). Well, it seems Ethiopia is where we were meant to go! It really wasn’t a hard decision to make. Of course, we have some concerns but we know that we can overcome any challenges this change might bring. All that matters to us is there is a baby somewhere in Ethiopia waiting for a forever family. That’s us!
I’ve started working on our dossier this week, and let me just say, I’m completely overwhelmed! Our case worker at our agency has been really helpful but I’m one of those people who HATES asking for help. I’d much rather figure things out on my own. Unfortunately, in this case, I’m going to have to swallow my pride and have her walk me through this entire process! Everything has to be JUST RIGHT or we’re screwed!
Stayed tuned for more ranting and whining!

Hey all,
I am so glad you guys made the switch. Let me know if you need any help since I have now BTDT for Ethiopia as well as Vietnam. Hopefully, we can get together again soon. Best Wishes
