So basically everything has been turned in. The dossier went to ET on 12/7 but I just found out today. Next thing is getting the thing translated and submitted to court. Last Friday I mailed the welcome bags to the office. That was pretty exciting although I have to say that this time I didn't' go crazy because I know what the sisters do at Kidane. They have the kids put the shirt on for the picture that we receive, they look at the photo album and then the kids have to return it until the parents get there. Each bag was under $10.00 and I was proud of myself. Well the shirt are not included in that price.
As for AHOPE I cannot speak. I don't know what they do with the welcome bags. What really bummed me out this time is that my new kids are not able to be together except for the picture when they get the welcome bags.
When Amira and Biruk got theirs, it was so much nicer. Sister said from this day forward you will be brother and sister and they have been inseparable ever since their welcome bags.
Once the kids know it will be really exciting. Sometimes it can take a week to get there and sometimes a month or two. It just depends what's going on with the agency and who is traveling.
M's bag includes a shirt, photo album, jump robe, stickers, head bands, necklace, cards
G's bag includes a shirt, photo album, car and airplane, stickers, game, cards

I got that same jumprope for the girls' Christmas stockings! Nice job on the packages. They are going to be SO excited! I wish they could be together, too. Maybe they can take them to visit each other? I love the shirts!
How exciting!! I love the bags. So glad you are more comfortable with the process this time. They will be home before you know it! ;o) Can't wait to hear about it!!
Isn't it nice that things are clipping right along this time. I can't wait to meet your little ones.
Merry Christmas!
