Okay..we've calmed down..a little!

Our daughter's name is Dasash Mulu. We will name her Isabella Dasash Thornley (Bella).

Next step: we officially accept the referral, then we will have a court date in approximately 2 months. After court, we can travel approximately 4 weeks later. Since we are having her escorted to the US..it will take about 4 additional weeks.

We are so glad that we have a picture of our daughter. It feels like we have been on an emotional roller coaster for the past year and a half..we finally have our daughter!

We are going to an Ethiopian restaurant tomorrow night to celebrate!

Thanks for everyone's support!

Oh Diana!!! I am so thrilled for you. We got our referral on Tuesday and I was so concerned about yours...I didn't want to post about it until I had a chance to talk to you or find out if you guys had received your referral! Praise God!!!
It hit us when we least expected it, too!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
