DTR!!!!

for those that i went to college with, i'm NOT talking about the
"define the relationship" talk...

in "adoption speak" - DTR means "Dossier to Rwanda"
{our dossier is ALL our paperwork...that we spent 9 months gathering and getting approved...and notarized...and certified...}

i don't know...it's just the term they use once all your paperwork gets sent to Rwanda and the wait begins.

anyways...we are DTR today!
at least, we got an email with a FedEx tracking number and our paperwork is on it's way to Rwanda.
exciting!

i think it's makes more sense for us to officially be "DTR" once it arrives in Rwanda (in 10 days! what the heck?!?) but i'm excited nonetheless!!!

one more major step!

{oh, and it's so fun because a "new" adoption friend's name is on the FedEx report too because our dossier's are traveling together! maybe WE'LL get to travel together one day to Rwanda! :-)}
