It's Official......

We made our first major step toward adopting this evening......   the application has been submitted.  We were all worried about getting everything perfect on this application but after calling the agency with some questions, our anxieties were relieved to be able to finally submit the application.  Michael and I are so blessed with this opportunity.  Please continue to pray for us as we go through the process.  We now await the agency to contact us with approval to begin the "paper pregnancy" portion; basically, just a million documents that we must get together to send to Ethiopia.  Updates will be posted as we know what's going on.
