18 days and counting




So we were pleasantly surprised today to get some pictures of Yonatan from CHI. It melted our hearts even more. We were so amazed at how different he already looks from his referral photo that was taken in October. Aggh, can't wait to go get him.

Elijah thought he was so cute and wanted to jump into the computer to get him. If only it was that easy. 18 days and counting! (unless something changes yet again...I won't go there)

This boy was MADE for sunglasses. He is just too adorable for words! And I can see a huge difference between these pictures and the referral photos. I KNOW it's because he has a family and love. Love makes us all beautiful.

Hi,
I saw your blog through the CHI Yahoo group. We just began our adoption journey and we SO excited to bring home our son from Ethiopia! I am friends with Erica Shubin and she is showing me the ropes on the yahoo group.
We are requesting a toddler boy as well and I was just curious how long you waited for a referral after your dossier was done? I know that times change but it would be so helpful to know about what we should be preparing for. :0) We are requesting a 1-2 year old. You can check out my blog too,

Thanks for any info you might have~
