Tuesday we sent in our Dossier. A dossier is a collection of documents about our life that will go to Ethiopian government. It required 16 notarizations and three seals of state certification. Now that is in and approved, that puts us on the waiting list (finally). The time we wait for a referral can be anywhere up to six months, maybe more. We hope for sooner. It is the last big chunk of documentation to be prepared by us.
We also want to update you on the financial part of the adoption. With the dossier, we had to send in about $12,000 for various fees. That is a huge amount, obviously. Other than plane tickets, we are unaware of any other BIG bills coming. That puts us at approximately $15,000 spent so far.
So, here are some things for which we would love prayer:
1. Pray that God would ease our worrisome and impatient minds as we wait.
2. Pray for Ramiah, that God would watch over her and see to her care while she waits for us.
3. Pray that money comes in so that we are not crippled by debt at the end of this process.
4 We are applying for some grants (some matching) and interst-free loans. Pray that those would come through.
