Well, our application was submitted to AWAA over the weekend and I dropped off our application fee on Monday. What an emotional step that was. I’m not sure why, but I just had to call Josh as soon as I turned in the check. Just to say, ”I did it, it’s official now.” Weird. Anyhow, now we wait while they process our application. We’ll know in about 2 weeks whether or not we’ve been accepted into the Ethiopia program.
I didn’t think it would be this difficult at first. But somehow knowing that there is a pregnant woman in Ethiopia contemplating the surrender of her child, or that there’s a young infant in an orphanage that will be ours is really emotionally challenging. It makes me pray alot!

For a list of all Ethiopian restaurants, I recommend this Ethiopian Portal website:
