REFERRAL!!!!!

We got THE CALL!!!!!!!!!! We accepted our referral today for a beautiful baby BOY!! He is almost 4 months old, super tiny and PRECIOUS!!! The call came yesterday at 1:30pm. We are overjoyed and overwhelmed. I will start working on my post with all the details of the call because I don’t want to forget a minute of it.

Our little guy is a fighter and hopefully one day soon I will get to officially be his mama!!

Thank you so much for all the encouraging words, prayers and support!!!!!

    YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! Sooo happy for you!!! When I opened my blog list, all I could see was the word referral but couldn't see the author, and was SOOO happy when I saw the post came from you.

    I am so happy for you and Damon!!! It sounds like your little boy is about the same age as ours. :) I'm still hoping we'll be in Ethiopia at the same time.

    Congrats. :) :) :)

    congrats!! Leah and Tam and I all have little guys about the same age. We passed court a few weeks ago and are waiting to hear about travel. Getting a referral is great, but the wait AFTER it is much worse than the wait before it. Good luck!
