The other question we needed to answer before Monday, was which Ethiopian agency to go through. One agency was more expensive, initially, but if you took a sibling group the price didn't go up. It was also a Christian company, whereas the other one was not.
Again, it didn't make much sense as to why I was drawn to Kidslink, but I was. Our number one concern, of course, besides having a good agency, is financial. Therefore both these 'feelings' didn't quite fit with our financial needs.
I knew our choice of agent in our province was working on Saturday, so I didn't have to wait til Monday to start getting some answers. And believe me, I wanted to get this ball rolling. I knew it could take 1 - 2 years to go through all the paperwork!
I called the agent and she was refreshing her memory of us, because I had only talked to her one other occasion. She said, "You were interested in Liberia, right?" And I told her, "No, for some odd reason we are both being drawn to Ethiopia." To which she replied, "There is a reason. Our government is closing it's doors in Liberia. They aren't happy with.... "
Wow!!! Talk about confirmation!!!!! There was a *reason* why we were both being drawn inexplicably towards Ethiopia!!
After a number of other things were discussed she told me she really wanted to help me. She then volunteered that another family had gone through our 'other' choice of Ethiopian agency two times and next time wanted to go through Kidslink. Apparently, they were not totally happy with things and also wanted a Christian agency.
Wow! More confirmation! Now I was getting excited. The two things that Ray and I could not make a decision on. We had a feeling towards certain choices and then on one phone call it was confirmed that our choices were the right ones!
So now we knew. We would go through Kidslink and apply to adopt from Ethiopia.
