"Good news! Your dossier has been approved by ICBF for a child 0-2 years old. Congratulations! I'll let you know as soon as I hear your dossier has been sent out for assignment. Hopefully, it will be very soon."
Wow! What great words to receive! We can hardly believe it! The funniest part of receiving this email from Julie was that I (Sheila) had resigned myself to not obsessively check email last week (and in the future). I had shared with God and Dave that the only thing I wanted for my birthday was some evidence that our adoption was moving forward...sooooo...Friday came and went, and with no word. I must say I was a little bummed, but then again, God certainly does not work on chronological time.
Knowing that I had to work a 12 hour shift tonight, I decided to get some sleep and then take the dog for a nice walk and visit to PetSmart. Apparently, David was desperately trying to get a hold of me to share the great news, but I had left the phone in the car as it was one extra thing to manage with a dog and shopping cart. So, it was pretty funny to be greeted by Dave with an email in hand when I got home. After exchanging 60 lbs of dog and cat food for an email, I got to finally share in the excitement of progress! Unfortunately we didn't have any real amount of time to celebrate before Dave needed to travel off to church board and I was off to work. Perhaps tomorrow evening. It was nice to be able to fit in calls to our parents, though. Unfortunately, the rest of our family and friends will have to catch up through this blog entry or later conversations and calls!
