Well, not only is Ethiopia the home of very fast runners. It seems that it also is the home of very fast Visa producers! The Ethiopian Embassy in Washington D.C. once again came through in record time! We sent our passports to them for Visas on Thursday and already got them back in the mail on Tuesday! Our previous record with Eliana's adoption was 6 days, but they beat it by one day...and over a weekend, too! It is good to have that taken care of and out of the way. We now have up to date passports with Visas inside stacked neatly in a pile! Waiting for the word to travel...
While we are waiting, I thought I would post some of the things that Horizon House (the care center the twins are in) and other orphanages in Ethiopia are in need of. That way if anyone wants to donate anything we can bring it with us when we go. Here is the list:
