Psalm 37:4-6

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

Fingerprinting

Yesterday, we traveled 2 1/2 hours to Yakima to be fingerprinted for our adoption. It was a LONG drive to and from the USCIS office for ten minutes of having our hands manhandled and twisted this way and that for our prints to officially be on record. I wasn't expecting to have to go through a security checkpoint either!

Anyway, we are now done with everything we have to do until we get our referral. Other than the grants we hope to apply for, we are officially done paper signing, paper chasing and paper mailing! Yay!

Our dossier was sent to Ethiopia (DTE) on Jan. 21, at which point our waiting officially began for a referral. The wait list is still about 8-10 months long for a baby boy. Even though we are open to either gender, in all likelihood we will get a boy since the wait list is shorter.
