Our completed Dossier was mailed off to DC today!! We have spent countless hours working on the documents since January and double/triple checking everything. The dossier, a collection of some twenty documents, is on its way to the State Department and the Ethiopian Embassy. Once authenticated there, it returns to our agency. They look it over one last time and then send it on to Ethiopia for translation and submission to the courts.
This is a huge emotional step for us. Until this point we’ve been trying to do all we can do and to trust God for the results. After this, there is really nothing for us to do as we wait completely on God’s timing. We know His way is best, and we are confident that He is in control. But we can’t deny that we are somewhat impatient human beings and want these boys home as soon as possible.
