Enough Suspense?

Praise the lord, we have been given another blessing! Our son (doesn't that sound nice) is officially waiting for his Mommy and Daddy half way around the world.


Tuesday the 15th I received a call that went a little like this:


Remember this is our second adoption with Dillon, so I thought I was prepared. They are based out of Oklahoma, so I had their area code memorized since the first referral. :) I knew they would call my cell phone first(we no longer have a land line) then work. So needless to say I have been carrying my cell phone everywhere. At 12:30 my cell phone rang with a number I didn't recognize, so I thought telemarketer, no maybe Dillon, nope wrong area code, oh wait our SW is in Colorodo, could it be - no- Anju (the orphanage director) is in the US, it couldn't be - maybe - no - oh I'll answer it anyway........... Sure enough it was Tami with the news that she had a referral of a little boy for us....... The rest is sort of fuzzy. After calming down I asked that Tami send us more information. That night Todd and I reviewed the information - but once we saw this little face and those big eyes - we knew - he was meant to be ours.......


Keep us in your prayers that the next 5 steps go quickly.
1. We redo physical and sign paperwork.
2. Clearance granted by India
3. Judge in India grants us guardianship. (he has been known to be difficult 5-7 months)
4. Issuing of the passport
5. INDIA HERE WE COME!


And finally here is the glimpse of our little man!

  13. Just curious to see if you have decided on a name for your new son! We have been throwing names around, but decided we will need to see his picture first and find out what his given name was. :) Congratulations again!
