YaaaHoooo! We've started the adoption process again!!!
We have officially started the process to adopt from Nepal!
 We are on the 2010 dossier submission and are on this ride for at least 2 years. I didn't want more than 3 years difference between DS and his future sister, so the time frame works out nicely. I'm so excited!Just had to tell my Guat-forum family!

The Nepal program is still new to my agency but from what I understand, Nepal only accepts 10 dossiers a year from agencies that the Nepalese gov't has approved. 2009 was full so we put ourselves on the 2010 list. However, it can take up to two years from when our dossier is submitted (January 2010) to receive a referral. 'Dossier submission' is just a term I used to describe being put on "the 2010 list" to have our dossier submitted to Nepal.
Also under Nepalese requirements, we can only adopt the opposite gender of their future sibling, so we will be adopting a girl. We know we're in this process for a long time but our future daughter will be so worth the wait. Of course I think I'm going to be patient through the wait but get real...I'll be nuts with excitement by the end of summer.

Congrats!!
Nepal is such an interesting and fascinating country. I would be seriously tempted to try there as well, but we don't even qualify since we have a child of each gender. I look forward to hearing about your experience.
