We do.
Tonight, we completed all of the final paperwork for our dossier. Let me just say that Ethiopia requires MANY more documents than Vietnam did. We have typed, printed, retyped, reprinted, taken pictures, organized, etc etc all evening. Not that I'm complaining; it's all worth it!
Tomorrow, I will call my friend Sherri, who has been gracious to notarize everything for us throughout this entire adoption journey (thanks Sherri!). Once all of that is finished, we are ready to send it on. Well, once Frankfort sends me the correct birth certificates, we will be ready. But that's another story altogether!!
Please continue to pray for this adoption. I have felt such peace and affirmation from God these past several days. I can't wait to be able to share more about that, but I don't have all the details just yet. Just suffice it to say that God is working mightily to bring Ellie to us.
I am overwhelmingly humbled and in awe that I would be chosen for this journey. Oh, how I look forward to seeing my little girl's face for the first time. For now, we are one step closer....

Sorry you have to look it up :)
thanks Robo... and I didn't even have to look it up. that's what I have been reading this week myself! cool, huh??
Holly,
We are so excited for you guys. I know that the dossier is INSANE- but it sounds like you're about to have it licked. We are excited to hear the details of your Ellie in the coming months. Hopefully we'll have a few travel tips for you very soon!
This picture cracked me up. I've never had so much paper work to fill out...although your post today reminded me that I still need to apply for a copy of Cohen's birth certificate.
Anyhoo, I love reading about what I call "Bringing Home Ellie". It's so exciting to see how God is working out details daily to bring Ellie home to you, Jeff and Bryan. Thanks for all your testimonies of God's faithfulness.
I love you guys and greatly anticipate Ellie's homecoming!
