Pictures of the family

Well I'll post some pics of the family. This weekend we are going to meet the Paulsen's our friends from GA. they adopted with us from Vietnam and are also beginning their journey to Ethiopia for their daughter. We are excited to get the girls together and we will be meeting at a cabin in the Smokey Mountains, looking forward to a fun relaxing weekend.

The Beginning

We started our journey to our son shortly before Christmas 2007. We signed with Illien adoptions and have started the paperchase. First was to find a homestudy agency to update our homestudy. I'm still waiting on our childabuse registry forms and I hope to have that soon. Next week is our physicals with our Doctor. And then we can have our social worker Amy Hojak over to type it all up. This adoption has been less a bit lesds stressful then our last. When we got our daughter Lillian from Vietnam it was under a lot more time pressure to get the Dossier done and was so much more complicated than the one for the Ethiopian Govt.
We are ablended family. My husband Frank has a son and daughter from a previous marriage who are both 24. I have 2 girls 10, and 8 from a preious marriage , and together we have our 20 month old daughter adopted from Vietnam. We are looking forward to adding a toddler boy to our family and ecstatic to adopt from such a culture rich country as Ethiopia.
We have all our fees paid up to our agency to the point of dossier submission so this week I'm busy ordering marriage licenses, birth certificates, etc. I really hope to have this whole dossier submitted by mid February as well. We'll keep our fingers crossed.
