Katie, Tim & Cale Nester...
...would love it if you would follow along as we record our adoption journey. We feel blessed to be called to adopt a son from Ethiopia!
About our journey:
- We requested "either" gender, 0-18 months.
- We received our referral of Megersa on Nov 5, 2009; he was 2 months old.
- Megersa's name is pronounced "Meh-gur-sah."
- Our case was submitted on Dec 18, 2009 and our court date was Jan 27, 2010. We were fortunate to pass court on the first try!
- Tim's mom and I left for Ethiopia on March 8, 2010 for an Embassy appointment of March 10, 2010. We passed!
- Megersa met the rest of his family in the US 3.13.10.
- When we re-adopt him, his full legal name will be Megersa Jace Nester.

First Homestudy Visit
We had our first home study visit today! Okay, so it wasn't as crazy as I thought it would be. Our caseworker didn't really do the huge thorough investigation of our house that I was expecting. She did our biographies and had us sign a bunch of paperwork in less than an hour and a half (where I saw quotes of the first visit taking about 4 hours)! We have our second home study visit scheduled for next Monday. We're now one step closer to our baby! Exciting times!

yeah on homestudy visit one accomplished! what documents do you still need for the homestudy? Oh yeah, i found two more blogs that might be interesting. i haven't looked at them much yet, but check my blog roll (not AAI's). one is about anti-racist parenting, and the other one about multicultural families.
yeah, it wasn't as crazy as i thought it would be. I thought she was going to investigate every corner of the place and rummage through all our stuff. nope, it was easy!
