It's been six months since our dossier was sent off to Ethiopia and there really is not a whole lot to share. This part of the adoption journey is probably the hardest because the only thing you can do is wait and then wait some more. Currently we are expecting it to be another 30-36 months before we would get a referral. Which sounds like a pretty long time but our hope and prayer has been that the time would pass quickly.
But, how will we pass the time without growing impatient?
I guess we will use the time to prepare for Baby Rich. We found out the Saturday before Thanksgiving that Ana is pregnant!!
It probably goes without saying that we were both pretty shocked. You have to love how God works, sometimes when you least expect it he shows up and rocks your world.
Ana is now 13 weeks pregnant and everything is looking great. She had a cerclage done yesterday to make sure Baby Rich stays put until its time to meet the world.
A recent ultrasound showed the baby kicked back with his/her arms behind his/her head.
So I guess like Baby Rich we will just kick back and enjoy the ride!!
How exciting! Congratulations! You are both wonderful people and I will be praying for both of you and baby through this whole process.
