Not much to report...

I talked with Kids Link this week and our file has not come back from Ottawa yet. It will hopefully be back this week and sent to PEI. PEI requires our file to be sent here first and then they will mail it directly to Ethiopia themselves. Getting very anxious...still hoping we might see our daughter's face before Christmas!!!

We still need $3500 to send with our file when it goes to Ethiopia. This is for the country donation and the money helps other orphans (and our daughter!) with needs such as medicine, food, education, nannies, housing... We have $3000 saved and we still need another $3500. So, if you are able to come to our Ethnic Dinner and Dance on Saturday, November 24th, please join us! We are hoping to raise the remaining $3500 that night! There will be a buffet dinner and live music for only $15/ticket. Email me if you would like to join us at the Dinner or if you would like to help by donating to this part of our adoption expenses. Although this money is hard to find right now we are really happy it will be used for such a great cause - children in Ethiopia!!!

I know what you mean by PEI needing the file to be sent to them so they can send it to Ethiopia themselves. Very annoying. Nova Scotia did the same thing to us for some unknown reason (I guess its only KL clients they do it to). And the kicker was that they also made us pay out of pocket for the dossier to be couriered to Ethiopia by DHL...to the tune of about $130. Normally this is paid for by the agency because they are supposed to send it themselves, but NS made us pay because they insisted it be sent through them. Just a heads up for you in case they make you pay like NS did to us. :-( We thought it was totally unfair, but what can you do? We are at their mercy.

Wish we could attend your dinner!! Hope you make lots and lots of $$ and the rest of your adoption can be quick and smooth sailing! :-)
