Yep, i am now officially able to wear the t-shirt. Our dossier arrived in Ethiopia this morning, and was delivered to the agency office at 9:36am Ethiopia time.

What a journey our dossier had to take, now the waiting begins, we were told we are now expected to wait 7-8 months before a referral. I thank you all in advance for your patience with me in the next 7-8 months as I know i'm just in the starting gate of the roller coaster that is to come.

Congrats on being official. I know what a huge sense of relief that is to know that your dossier has finally arrived on Ethiopian soil.
It's the best feeling, isn't it?
Congratulations Natalie and Chris! I wrote you a message on Yahoo earlier today, but it doesn't seem to be working since then. At least we can't access it, and I read on another blog that someone else couldn't either, so I thought maybe you didn't get my message and I'd leave another one here on your blog. We're so happy for you and hoping our dossier will be following yours in a week or so. It's so exciting!
Fabulous news!!! Welcome to the club :-) At 41, I do not personally have the nerve to walk around wearing one of those t-shirts.
Having our dossier reach Ethiopia did wonders for me.
I can just see the look of relief on your face...look at that smile! One of many amazing smiles to come.
The t-shirt looks great! Congratulations! Remember, it is now just a matter of time! :)
Hi, just found your blog. We too are waiting for a referal from Ethiopia. Since Jan 08. Love to follow others who are on this journey....
CONGRATS!!! Can't wait to hear the news of your referral!
Wooo hooo!! I have had a crazy few weeks with starting a new position at work and have not had time to check on my regular blogs! I can't believe I missed this!!
Congrats! Celebrate!!!what an exciting day!!
