To Ethiopia -- Adoption Update

As of yesterday, we are officially under contract with Adoption Avenues Agency (AAA) to adopt through their Ethiopian program.  We are also officially out of our contract with JOH (Taiwan).  I mailed our contract on Saturday at 3p and AAA received it in Portland on Monday.  I was pretty shocked that they received it so quickly.  Now we have to complete our dossier, have our homestudy updated, and file a "change of country" form with Immigration, so you will probably not hear another update for several months.  Oh, and I think we've settled on a baby name.  But I'm going to keep it underwraps for now.  I'm sure the suspense is killing you, right?!  :)  Speaking of names, we also need a new blog (address) name.  Coming soon....
