No, not us. But our dossier is! Praise God we are all done with all the paperwork! It has all been authenticated and notarized and signed and photocopied... and on Thursday, February 19th our agency put it in the mail to Ethiopia! Now we wait :).
Tonight, our amazing friends and huge supporters, Jeremy, Hope, Jeremiah, Jodi, Zach and Jennifer, blessed us in a totally awesome way- along with the help of 70 other close friends and family. They put on the "Wilkening Baby Bingo Bash", a Bingo themed fundraiser for our adoption. I am thrilled to write that $2300 was raised to help cover the costs of the adoption. It was such a fun night- lots of laughs (with Jeremy E. at the mike can you imagine?), great fellowship, amazing prizes (thanks to Carl and Aida, Randy and Beckie, Zach and Jennifer, Treasury of Memories, Jeanie and A Picket Fence, Cutter's Point Coffee, Matt and Starbucks, Jonathan... and if I forgot you, please forgive me!) and most importantly, a room full of people who love us and love our baby. What a blessing to have so many already celebrating his life! If you were a part of tonight in any way, thank you, thank you, thank you. You are a gift.

I just have to say that Jeremy gave us way too much credit. I feel like he and Hope did the entire thing. So, great job you two!!
So glad to hear it went well! We missed you guys a ton last night & hope to see you soon. Praying for you!
