Good News!!
Braylon has started using the potty! I finally stopped procrastinating, and started working at it very hard this morning. In the beginning he showed no interest in it, but once he used the potty, he was so proud of himself. He went all day and only had one accident (that was when daddy was watching him, LOL!). I am very surprised that he is doing so well. If you know Bray, then you understand why I'm surprised! Hopefully he will keep this up. I'm ready to be out of diapers for a little while!

Ethiopia Bound!
Hi All,
Just wanted to keep everyone updated on where we are in our adoption journey to our daughter.
We have completed our homestudy and are now starting our dossier. Hooray! For those not familiar with the adoption process, the dossier is all the paperwork that will be sent to the country you are adopting from. Documents included are birth certificates, police letters, doctor's letters, employement letters, financial statements, pictures, ect... We had to have most of these documents in our homestudy, but these are just more detailed and have to be notarized. We are having to move slow through this because a new law is going into effect in Ethiopia this October. This law requires 3 years between your youngest child and the child being adopted. We can't get anything notarized until November, when Braylon is 2 1/2 yrs. We won't be able to send our dossier to Ethiopia until January, which means we could get a referral by May, and could travel in July!! We are so excited! We can't wait to get her home! It is amazing to think that our daughter is probably now in her birth mother's womb, and that God is creating her just for us. Izaiah is getting so excited. He prays for her everyday. It is so sweet! Please specifically pray that we raise the remainder of the funds needed, $15,000. Also, pray for the birth mother's health. We appreciate all your prayers!
