SO, we have accepted our referral! As you might know, our original request was for an infant (0-12 months) of either gender. God has BIGGER plans though!!
We have accepted a referral for an infant boy!!! Oh yeah, AND his TWO older sisters!! We have totally and completely fallen head over heals in love!!! Actually, we were in love the moment we saw their picture, and we both just had a feeling that they were supposed to be a part of our family! In God's perfect timing, He had us wait 6 weeks before we were able to find out if we could adopt them. I believe this waiting was so that we could really see God's direction and leading in our lives.
SO, I know that this probably leaves most of you wondering, 'what happens next?' Well, we have A LOT of paperwork that has to be updated, fingerprints to get done, another trip up to Sacramento to visit our state capitol:), etc. But, we are hesitantly optimistic that we MIGHT be able to travel towards the end of December. But, trying not to get our hopes up about that:).
In the meantime, we will be back in full fundraising mode:) as we try to come up with the extra needed expenses (more details to come:)
Oh my goodness that is so exciting!!!
