Yesterday we got the news that we were accepted into AWAA's Ethiopian adoption program. With that news came e-mails about starting our online training, contracts that needed to be signed and mailed back, and details about paying our initial program fee. Being that it is my personality to get things done and not let them sit (when I'm anxious about something that is) I immediately printed out the papers, signed them, wrote the check, stuffed it in the envelope, loaded the boys into the car, and drove to the post office to put it all in the mail. While doing all of this in a rush, Wyatt pulled the bucket of water catching drips from our shower repair (that's another story) off of the chair to make a huge mess and Oliver was getting frustrated that I wasn't providing his snack fast enough! But heaven forbid I wait a day and slow down! I HAD to get it in the mail before last pick up so it would be there on Monday instead of Tuesday! Now the ball is back in their court and we're waiting on them to process it and assign us a family coordinator which will contact the case worker to start our home study, etc. See the rush?? This will be my life from now until we send the entire dossier to Ethiopia and then we just sit back and wait. Sounds easy huh?? It's like a game of hot potato...I don't want to be the reason we're waiting...if it's something we can take care of then I'll do it immediately and then wait on whoever we have to wait on to do their part. Hopefully we'll get everything we need quickly but I'll tell you that it won't be me we're waiting on!! Am I my father's daughter or what?? Ohhhhh...we have a LONG journey ahead don't we my dear husband? HA!
