Good question. As I write this, I'm curled up on my couch bed in a tiny room that contains all the crap I could possibly need for the next two months. That room happens to be in my parents' basement, because.......we are moving. I was not thrilled about having to to move for the 6th time in our 6 years of marriage, but I've been assured that this is the FINAL move (not like death, but the other final move that comes before it). After summers without water, overflowing septic tanks, winters without heat, and a really fun hobby called "flip this rental", we decided we'd like to pay more for all of those headaches.
As we spent time looking for a house, we also briefly considered switching to a domestic adoption program.Its cheaper, quicker, and has less "unknowns", but the idea really didn't seem to sit well with us. I think its the idea of a birth mom deciding at the last minute to parent her baby. So we decided we feel much more comfortable spending three times the amount, traveling to a foreign country that happens to boarder terrorist-infested nations, and leave Pearl for weeks at a time to do all of this. Sounds like a logical decision, right? I don't know what it is, but I just feel like Ethiopia is the place.
All this to say, life looks a little messy for us right now, but we plan to move forward again in the Spring when we are settled. Moving means we have to update some paperwork, and our home study can't be finished until we are in our new place.
