Somewhat of a time line

Everyone is asking when we'll be getting a referral so here is a little time line for you guys:

• Finish the last little bit of paperwork for Gladney
• Finish putting together our paperwork part of the dossier
• Finger prints
• Get our CIS letter
• Have all that notarized
• Send it all to KBS for Authen.
• Then the dossier will be sent to Ethiopia
• What we've all been waiting for...the referral

Something else that will hold things up a little...Ethiopia has a rainy season. It literally rains everyday for about two months. Image the living situations now, and then add major rains, wow. So if we don't (which I seriously doubt we will) have our dossier turned in by July 1st to Ethiopia then we can still get our referral however we cant travel until October. I am soo ready to see our baby's picture however I also cant imagine seeing her or him and not being able to just jump on a plane and go. So I suppose the goal is to get everything turned in and ready so that when the rain stops we'll be on our way! All in perfect timing I guess...
