ROLLCALL.... who's new? who's waiting? who's home?

Hello!
We are Becky and Tonio, hoping to apply this summer to WACAP to adopt from Ethiopia. We have 3 kiddos, 2 girls and a boy, and we are so excited to add another little boy! Nice to meet you all!

Welcome to the Ethiopian journey. I am fast approaching my third anniversary of receiving THE CALL. My daughter came home in September 2006.

I'm still here. After a long home study process, we finally submitted our dossier 2 weeks ago and anticipate being registered in Ethiopia within the next 2 weeks. We have 3 bio boys, all grown and gone now and a little girl we brought home from Guatemala in March, 2008. We hope to have the referral of our little Ethiopian princess before years end. This will be our 2nd and last adoption. At least that's what my husband tells me.

We're just starting. We've applied to the agency and have started the HS stuff so we're a ways off, but plodding in that direction.
