Not sure where that month of waiting went! Holy Moly it went fast thank goodness! I think time will continue to zip by until about January...then the wait is going to be down right painful. It still feels so incredibly surreal that we will have a baby in the house in as little as 7 months. WOW. And that we will be traveling to Africa!
A bit about the trip...once we get the referral, all of her paperwork goes through court and then we are given a travel date. It seems like this is usually 8-12 weeks after the referral. They try to give you about 4 weeks to plan for travel, but it has been shorter and longer. We will most likely leave MN and travel to DC to catch an Ethiopia Air flight. This seems to be what most people traveling from MN are doing. The flight from DC lands to re-fuel in Rome and then lands in Addis Abbaba. I can't quite imagine being on a plane for that long! I will need to save up some great books and hopefully will get an i-pod for b-day or Christmas to block out some of that airplane noise.
Once in Addis, we will stay at our agency's guest house. This will be a great experience. It sounds sort of like a combo of Survivor meets amazing race...meets summer camp...meets labor and delivery! I can only begin to imagine what an awesome experience it will be! I will go into more details on the trip later...for now I am off to celebrate one month down...and take in a gorgeous fall day!
Thanks for reading!
