So, I wanted to give you all a run down of what has happened since we received our referral. This should be helpful for family/friends who w
ant to be in-the-know about our process and for other adoptive parents who are waiting for their referrals!
5/1: Received referral from WHFC
5/3: Met w/social worker to go over referral packet
5/3: Emailed all referral information to Dr. Jane Aronson for review
5/7: Received assessment back from Dr. Aronson
5/7: Signed and notorized acceptance papers
5/7: Called our Dr. and insurance company to find out about travel vaccinations
5/8: Mailed papers with final fee check to WHFC (express mail, of course)
5/9: Made
Appt. for travel vaccinations for 5/13; assembled crib; registered for baby stuff
5/10: Celebrated first Mother's Day with J and friends
5/11: Received "Happy Mother's Day" phone calls for the first time ever
5/12: Passport size pictures for Ethiopian Visa; mail pictures and application
Intermixed with all of that is setting dates for baby showers, cleaning and organizing, going to see THREE MOVIES in one week, eating out, sleeping in, thinking about how I need to have a garage sale, moving the guest bedroom furniture into the other (junk) room, countless calls to friends and family to announce the big news... oh yeah... and work...

Thanks for catching us up on the details! You guys are so smart to spend time doing some things you may not get to do for a while! Eating out is not too hard...but movies are a luxery! I bet it feels great to be in action! Can't wait to hear more and see pictures. Happy belated Mother's Day!
I love the details! Happy Belated Mothers' Day.
sounds like fun if you ask me. How great that you don't have a long wait before you go and get him. Do you have a travel date yet? I can't wait to continue hearing more details. Enjoy all the moments. What a blessing.
Whoa! Who's that sexy guy in the picture? I looked through the details and didn't see the part about inviting Johnny Depp over to assemble a crib...
