Another Step Closer

Well, we made another step towards our adoption. We got the I-171H approval from the Department of Homeland Security! So now we have all of our paperwork and our Dossier is complete. I sent it to the State to get authorized and they'll get it tomorrow. Then it goes to our Adoption agency to be translated and sent to Ethiopia. At that point we are officially in the cue. Can't wait!

Not only is a new world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing.

Gratitude


Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough,

and more.

It turns denial into acceptance,

chaos into order,

confusion into clarity....

It turns problems into gifts,

failures into success,

the unexpected into perfect timing,

and mistakes into important events.

Gratitude makes sense of our past,

brings peace for today

and creates a vision for tomorrow.
