On Friday, February 10, we mailed our dossier to West Sands Adoption! This was a lot to gather and complete in less than two months, so we are happy to have it completed. According to the flow chart West Sands gave us, it takes 2-3 weeks for the dossier to be sent to Ethiopia. From there, it says that the process varies by country, but they gave us an estimated 3-6 months of waiting for a referral. Once we receive a referral, we will travel to Ethiopia for the first time for court. Then it will be another 6-8 weeks when we travel there again to bring home Baby Frazey! The dossier is a huge step done because now we are just waiting for a phone call......
We are also required to get fingerprinted by USCIS at Homeland Security in Phoenix this week. Those take six weeks to process, but West Sands told us that they do not need those in order to send the dossier.
From here, our updates will be letting everyone know where we are on the waiting list. We don't have a number yet--so stay tuned! :)
Yay!! I'm so excited! Can't wait to meet TWO new Frazey babies! :)
