Dossier on its way

We mailed off our dossier today! We overnighted it to Caring Hands, a courier service that will actually walk our dossier to the US Department of State, wait for the papers to be authenticated and then take it to the Ethiopian Embassy for authentication there. They will pick it up when that is finished and send it back to our case worker, who will send it to Addis Ababa. We are very excited that all our paperwork for this phase is finished!!! Now the wait for our referral begins.
