In our last update, we mentioned that we'd heard a rumor going around that Rwanda might have hired somebody on to help process through all the paperwork to get things moving. Last night, we received an e-mail from our family coordinator verifying the rumor! Woo-hoo!
We have no idea what that means right now other than that our wait will not be as long as it would have been had they not hired somebody. So...that's really really good news!!!
They have also assigned numbers to each families paperwork. We will hear from our Power of Attorney in Rwanda sometime in the next few weeks, and she will tell us our number. Which means we'll know exactly how many families are ahead of us and maybe a better idea of our timeline.
Please continue to pray for God's direction in every last detail. Thank you so much for taking this journey with us. We'll keep you posted!

That is awesome you two! Thanks again for being at Noah's first birthday on Tuesday and we're psyched to see you all day tomorrow. We will pray that your number is high from Rwanda!

I just found your blog and am SO glad I did! We are adopting from Rwanda as well, and I haven't heard this news yet. How exciting! Good luck with everything, and hope you have your child in your arms soon!

So glad we could break the news to you Stephanie and Catherine! Not sure why some people got the e-mail and others didn't...they probably just sent it to people who have been waiting a year or something like that.
Enjoy the ride!!!
