Today we had our 6 month post placement visit.

Most of the pictures we used were previous blog post pics but here are a few others we included

Our SW also started our homestudy for our second adoption. It is kind of strange to really be starting again but it is also very exciting. We are planning to pace ourselves this time and just go with the flow (ha, ha). Our general timeline is to have our homestudy complete by mid-late July. so we have plenty of time to apply for grants and save. We hope to have our dossier ready by late October at the earliest but shooting for Decemberish. This would put us traveling in March-September somewhere about (there is no exact science obviously...we are just praying for God's timing) We plan to request a girl age 2-3 (one grade behind Wubitu). Over the last few weeks I have been intently praying for our next little girl realizing that she has already turned 2 or will be turning 2 this summer. It really hits you sometimes to realize that we are already missing so much of our little girl's life. At the library on Wednesday somebody asked me about Wubitu as a baby and I told her I didn't know then tried to hold back the tears. I never really thought that I would be affected by not knowing what she looked like or acted like as an infant but as I grow to love her more I start to grieve our lost time together. This of course makes me feel selfish as I know her Ethiopian family grieves even more as they don't get to see her grow, learn, and laugh. Adoption is so much more complicated that I ever imagined.
