We haven't heard from AWAA in a week so we followed up with them today to check on the status of our dossier...

... and they said that everything looks OK!  That's a big relief as we were worried that we had perhaps left something out or done something wrong.  They did have to get an updated certificate from St. Elizabeth Coleman which is the agency in Indianapolis that did our homestudy.  AWAA will take our dossier to the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington DC this week to get everything authenticated.  Then the plan will be to send it off to Ethiopia early next week.  We'll let you know how it goes!
