Feeling human again :-)

I've just had a shower for the first time since I hurt my foot on Monday and it feels so good to be clean again :-)

I've spoken to the DCSF again and the person I spoke to had our dossier on her desk being processed! She said there wasn't a problem and the only reason that an "acknowledgment letter" hadn't been issued was that they were checking everything was in order due to our change of country. I presume that they have to check that we have formally withdrawn our application from China and that we aren't trying to do two adoptions at once. She confirmed that the letter should be with us by the end of the week!!

I've also chased up the missing document that we need to send to our Notary. And apparently it is almost ready and we should have everything sorted out in the next few days if we get a move on!! I've chased everyone I can in regard to it, so I just hope they all get their fingers out and get things moving!! So it looks like everything is coming together nicely :-) Wouldn't it be great to have everything sorted and sent to Ethiopia before Christmas :-)
