We've submitted an initial application to an agency that handles Ethiopian adoptions. We have so much going on right now, so we're taking our first baby steps in what is sure to be a strenuous journey....we know the drill. I spoke to a representative from the agency, and told her we would like to adopt a boy, someone between one and three. I was thrilled to hear that since we wanted a boy of that age, the time to complete the entire process would most likely be less than a year. When I inquired as to why the time frame was so short, she said, "We don't get a lot of requests for toddler boys". Hearing that broke my heart, but in the same instant, my heart opened wider. I need to stay in the realm of possibility, hope and conviction for myself, my family and for all those toddler boys.
