Dossier is On It's Way

Today I got an email from Katie informing us that our dossier was sent this week to Vietnam. I am sooo excited to know that at least for a little while I do not have to do any paperwork, just adoption education things. I had a nice conversation with my daughter about this whole thing. She tells me she is not worried about this process and that we'll have a baby when it is time. What a great attitude! I am not worried either. I just like to know what's going on. That's the control freak in me coming out I guess. I'm working on that one. I guess this is God's way of helping me to learn to let go of control and give it to Him.

Congratulations! I remember that relieved feeling oh so well when our dossier finally left the States. Praying for a quick log in - and a referral of a sweet child (or two??) in God's sweet and perfect time.

Love ya. You know that!
