Well, today has been exciting and frustrating. I got word last night that many people with my agency thought yesterday several referrals would come out (meaning several parents would see pictures of their children for the 1st time). But the agency had a power outage, so it closed yesterday. Then the thought was that SURELY today we would see some excitement. This afternoon I got an email from the agency, but it was not about referrals. It did say that our dossier was sent to Washington, DC today to be authenticated by the Ethiopian embassy, so that's cool. Maybe referrals tomorrow... Since I feel let down with no referrals to report today, I'll post some other exciting news from a couple weeks ago. :)

I loved the name Isa before we even decided to adopt from Ethiopia. I had talked about that name as a possibility for our second daughter after Kendall. After we decided to adopt from Ethiopia, Justin said he would like our daughter to have an African name. I liked that idea as well. After about a week of looking at Ethiopian/African names, today I saw for the first time that Issa (pronounced ee-SAH like Isa) is Swahili for “God is our salvation.” HOW PERFECT! Justin loves it too. We can’t wait to meet our darling daughter. Oh yes, I guess we’ve decided on a little girl.
