STATE APPROVAL... IT CAME!!!!


OUR STATE APPROVAL CAME IN TODAY and

WE ARE ON THE WAITING LIST!!!!

Our friends, The Beelers (www.beeleradoption.blogspot.com) also got their state approval. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? We got them on the same day. Our Dossiers went to Washington together, then they went to Ethiopia together and now we are on the waiting list... RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. We met the Beelers through this adoption process. They live in Maryville (about 25 min away). We get together with them as often as we can :-)

Oh how grateful we are to you O LORD,
El Elyon!

Hi Tracie!

I'm somewhat stalking yours and Josh/Julie's blogs. My husband and I are also with AGCI and considering switching from Guatemala to Ethiopia. You have such a beautiful family! We have four biological children and I was wondering if I could ask you a question regarding your thoughts on a specific aspect of adopting from Ethiopia. If so, would you mind sending me an email at author@elizabethlyons.com? Thanks!

Yeah!!! Congratulations!

As I read your blog, I keep thinking that I have several things in common with you. I was a hairstylist for 10 years (on your other blog, you mentioned something about missing your calling), I LOVE Pride & Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility (books & movies), and there is something else you mentioned (can't think of it right now, lol) that I thought I really could relate to.

Thanks for linking to my blog! I'm looking forward to the next bit of good news that your family will have to share!
