"I was born with a bronze skin and I like it. Some of my friends were born white or black or yellow. They were not consulted. But that's all right. There are yellow roses, white roses, and red roses and the fragrance of one is about as nice as another." ~Chief Walking Buffalo

signed off

This Thanksgiving we have a lot to be thankful for. On this beautiful, sunny fall day, with tummies full of leftover Turkey from our family celebration the night before, and hanging out in our cozies with the girls watching Disney movies, we unexpectedly got to sign off on our final homestudy report.

Now that we have done all of the paperwork the real waiting begins. We still have to wait a few weeks for Alberta's final stamp of approval, and then our 'report card' will be sent off to Imagine adoption to join the rest of our Dossier package for Ethiopia.

I am surprised at how easily this process has begun. I hope that is a sign of smooth roads ahead , and sense that it is a good omen.

Away we go!

    Hi Tammy! Sounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Glad it turned out so well. Coffee Thursday? Would you like to do it here?

    The above link is for an Ethiopian name site. It's an Australian adoption site but we've really enjoyed reading them and their meanings!
