And a Drumroll Please........

Some exciting announcements in our lives:

• We received news that our homestudy was signed by our local agency. We are approved for the adoption of 1 or 2 more children, of either gender, up to 3 years of age from the country of Rwanda. This is just one tiny step in many phases of approval. We still need to be approved to work with our international placement agency, to receive approval from USCIS, and ultimately to be approved by the Rwandan government.

• And on another note we are making progress in our educational careers. My husband who is a PhD Biology student successfully passed his written and oral comprehensive exams last month. He is now starting work on his dissertation and I will be defending my doctoral dissertation this spring. So thankfully we will have fewer things to juggle when we bring our new children home and a lot less multi-tasking to do!
