It's our first blog! We thought this would be a good idea in order to keep everyone posted on what's going on with our adoption. Well, we're finally getting things underway. We've decided to use Adoption Avenues out of Portland, and we're applying for an infant girl from Ethiopia. Cory and I are excited, scared, and everything else under the sun...Our initial application will be sent out tomorrow, so within a week we should be receiving a call from the agency on our next steps. I've been speaking with Radu at Adoption Avenues regarding Ethiopia, and it sounds like the most straightforward adoption program. If everything gets started this month, he says we should be bringing home our baby by Christmas! I've added some links to the blog that have some pics and video of Toukoul Orphanage - this is the orphanage we will eventually travel to in order to receive our baby. I'll keep you posted!

How exciting! I can't wait to read about your experiences. Our neighbors adopted a 2 year girl from Russia about 2 years ago & it's really interesting to hear about the different cultures and the joy of meeting your baby. Lisa (Bethel) Fulton
