Wow, I haven’t blogged in a long time! A lot has happened since the last time I blogged…but I’m happy to announce we are back on the road to adoption!! We have been struggling to decide which agency was best for us. After a lot of research and talking with families who have used these agencies we have finally decided on IAG (International Adoption Guides)!! They are a smaller agency with shorter wait times than any other agency we have talked with. Right now they are saying 4 months for an infant boy and 6 months for an infant girl!!!! Every other agency has told us about 9-12 months…so this is WONDERFUL news to us! If everything goes according to plan (I’m sure all of you adoptive moms are laughing at me right now) we should have our baby home close to the end of THIS year!!!
We have been hearing talks about Ethiopia’s stability lately and all of the changes they are going through right now. There has been some talk that they may close their adoption doors, so we wanted an agency that would move us along quickly! That’s not to say that something can’t still happen, but if it does we have a back up plan of looking at a domestic adoption at that point. However, we really feel like Ethiopia is where our baby is so we are not worrying about that right now.
Now that we have chosen our agency we have our first home study meeting set up for February 12th with Lindsey from God’s Children Adoption Agency out of Fergus Falls. This will be our first BIG step in our adoption journey!! We have always know who we wanted to use for our home study agency…they are wonderful!
That’s where we’re at right now. It has taken us a lot longer than we originally planned to get to this point, but we have to believe it’s all in His timing :) I plan to blog much more from here on out to keep everyone up to date!! This is especially nice for our family and friends that live far away and we don’t get to see or talk with very often!! If you ever have questions please feel free to call or email us. We are always ready to talk adoption!!
We are officially PAPER PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOHHOOOO…I’ve been waiting almost 3 years to say those words!! :)
Until my next post….
Tasha & Chaske
