Referral Acceptance :)

We happily accepted our referral yesterday!!!!!!! I wish I could post his name and pictures, b/c he's SOOO stinkin' cute!!!!!!!! As an awesome and totally unexpected surprise, we received some updated pics of him yesterday. I'm going to be staring at those quite a bit until we travel :)

I can't wait to find out when we travel to meet the little guy - I hope in January!!!

God is SOOOOO amazing, and I wish I could type all the amazing ways He has knitted this story together so far.....even down to the little things.

I'll post again when I know more!!!!! yay!!

REFERRAL!! Early Christmas Present!!

2 of my friends had said that maybe we would hear something of a referral as a Christmas present, and I didn't think that was going to be a possibility........I'm glad I was wrong :) God is SOOOOOOO good!!!

YAY!!!! We received a referral for a 10 month old little boy, and he's SO cute! We are trying to get in touch with our International Adoption Specialist to have a consultation, but he came with a lot of information. We are thankful for that!

I'll be singing songs of praise all day :)

7 Months & Counting

Ok, so once we were registered into our region it was only supposed to take 2 months to get a referral for our little boy.......or so the trend HAD been. Even though you know that it could take longer, (b/c there are SO many things and/or reasons why it can) I didn't think it would. I guess it's that thing where you never think it's going to happen to you.

Although we are waiting and praying for our little boy, we have been busy moving and enjoying the holidays so far. We are liking being in Jackson and being closer to family. Kate has adjusted very well to the new house and her new school that she goes to 2 days / week while I work in Memphis. We have been very blessed in many ways and we are thankful, but we can't wait to hear word of our little one.

We pray now that our 2nd long trip (whenever it may come) won't disrupt the opening of Wes's shop too much and/or that God would provide a way to work everything out as He has so far.
