Adoption process update

Leah called CAFAC to find out where we were in line. Our file was started in August of 2006. CAFAC is just starting to get proposals for July. What does this mean for us? It means that we probably won't get a proposal for 1 - 2 months at least. With a 3 - 6 month wait after the proposal, we likely won't be able to go to Ethiopia until October, perhaps as late at January 2008. Sigh.

Success...or at least a great afternoon

Thank you so much to everyone who made it out to the open house. There were a lot of great people, many things to munch on, and a great time had by all. We quite enjoyed showing off 'the potential', catching up with many of you (as much as possible with 50 - 70 people) , and pulling a name out of a hat for the B&B draw. Congratulations to Andrew and Sandell! May you have a wonderful stay. Overall, we sold 80% of the tickets, raising over $800 dollars which brings us quite a bit closer to finish paying for the adoption costs. If you're wondering why it's taken me two weeks to put this post up, we've been pedal to the metal getting our place ready for a renter. We have a few more days left before she moves in, and have a long list of finishing touches to complete. Thank you all again for your support, be it coming to the open house, purchasing tickets, or inquiring about how things are going.
