That is right folks! The Kennedy crew is officially waiting! We got word today that our dossier is on it's way to DC. It might be the quickest time from application to waiting list in the history of adoptions, considering we requested an application on October 22nd. That is only 3 months!
We are more excited than ever to bring our little boy home. We are going to name him Addis, after the capitol city of Ethiopia. The twins pray for him every night... "Dear Jesus, help baby Addis come home to us soon."
Now, we just sit and patiently wait. God has obviously had His hand in this from the beginning, and we are trusting Him with our baby in the meantime. They say this is the hard part, but we have 3 things that should keep our mind occupied; Easton, Catherine, and Sophie.
Thank you all for your prayers and support along the way. Please pray for our baby boy when you think of us. There is a good chance he might have already been born.
