Recently, we have been getting stuff ready for the child's room. We don't have it set up, cause the room is currently full of yard sale items, but we are working on it. I get excited doing this because it makes me feel like we are closer to bringing our baby home. I long for the day we bring him/her home! We found an Ethiopian flag that we will put in their room and ordered a few Adoption books to read to our child and also a Baby Book. We plan on being open with the child about adoption from the start! These are the books we ordered, I copied the pictures from Amazon, so you can't click to look inside, sorry!

We got some discouraging news from the Adoption agency yesterday that they will be increasing the wait time soon, meaning it could be closer to 3 years before our child comes home. It is already really hard to wait 2 years and for the wait time to continue to increase is really frustrating and upsetting. I know God is in control and he knows what he is doing, but it is still hard.
We continue to do fundraisers and apply for Grants, along with reading books about Adoption & Ethiopia while we wait. We have so far applied for 6 grants and have been approved for 3. We are currently looking for more grants to apply for, but haven't found any yet.
