Well Folks, the Taylor Family is officially done paper-chasing for our kiddos! Joshua and I spent our date night at Staples last week making our 3 sets of photocopies. Our long-awaited I-171H came, and I headed to Richmond on Friday to get our shiny gold stickers that have the Virginia State Seal. Monday morning I will drive our completed dossier to AWAA’s office and it will be brought to the US State Department and Embassy before heading off to Ethiopia on Friday. God is so faithful!
A huge blessing was that Mark and Katie Redfern were here to celebrate with us. They headed off to Ethiopia on Friday to pick up their adorable little boy Judson Abraham Redfern. You can follow their journey at www.markredfern.blogspot.com
Finally Friday evening we celebrated by going out to the Ethiopia restaurant with our dear friends and their adorable daughter. As a note their daughter was adopted domestically but I think everyone at the restaurant thought she was Ethiopian! =)
