Rang DHL
I have just rung DHL to check what was happening with our dossier parcel, and was told that they tried to deliver the package yesterday but couldn't (they didn't know why). They said it would be quicker and easier for me to contact the receiver myself to arrange for them to ring DHL and request a redelivery. I tried emailing a couple of times, but the email kept bouncing as "over quota" so in desperation I rang up! The person I spoke to said it was a holiday today in Ethiopia, so they would ring up DHL tomorrow and get the parcel redelivered. I mentioned the email problem and they said that was because they were not opening emails today and would sort it out tomorrow. It was very very exciting to ring up and speak to the actual person who will be receiving our dossier and, in due course, matching us to our little one!!!!! I feel all shaky now, but in a good way :-)

wow...although this "hold" situation was a stresser--it turns out you got to visit with the orphanage! A voice to this very personal journey! I'm so happy for you Janet--can not wait for you to see her face and hold her in your arms. So very sweet--I know how long you've been waiting and...it's a very long time! :)
At last,nearly there.
Hi Lisa,

Oh glad to hear it Janet.
Did you manage to drop any hints about when you might get your referral ;-)
love WL xx
Hi WL,
Unfortunately no hints! They just said they would deal with our application once they had our dossier in hand. Are your papers off now??
Love

Hi WL,
You are kinder than me! As soon as they told me it was ready I organised DHL, stuff their 24 hours notice (which they got anyway as DHL couldn't get there till the next day). I just felt they had messed me around so much I wanted it OUT of their hands!!!
Have fun tracking :-)
Love
