We are Referral Ready!!!!!!

That's right!!!!

On Thursday, we received our letter from U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services with a favorable determination. That means we have every piece of paper, fingerprint, and authorization needed to receive the referral for our child! Now with that being said, we are still on a wait list and it will still be a while. But the great news is we are ready!



And... some other really cool news....

Thursday I also talked with our case manager B and she stated that our dossier is now in Ethiopia at Hannah's Hope in a locked box waiting for the day that we are matched with our child! YAY!!!!
That news made this momma smile ear to ear!!



I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
So far ours has revolved around football and food!

Go Steelers!! Go #43 Polamalu!!!

(Just needed to throw that in!
