ITS AN 18 MONTH OLD BOY - Got the call!!!!

On Wednesday, (Greg was & still is in Sacramento for a police training) I was shopping at the dollar store. I saw the adoption agency phone number come up on my cell phone & thought nothing of it & for a second almost didn't answer. Our family coordinator started to talk & i thought she might have news of more delays, etc. Next thing I knew she said she had a referral for us of an 18 month old boy. I couldn't comprehend this as we had not been registered yet at any orphanages. She said that as of today we were registered & this was our referral. She said that he looked like Thomas which almost made me cry - she said that i'd come home to find an e-mail of 7 pictures of him & some medical information!!!! So i called Greg & he was on a break & i told him & he was shocked! I rushed home, got the e-mail pictures & couldn't believe how much he resembled our little thomas. We have decided to accept the referral which means we'll go to meet him within the next few weeks! Ok, so i thought we had about 6 more months to a year before all this would take place. What a difference a phone call can make!!

Praying for peace of mind and heart, smooth preparations, finances to pour in, and clear evidence of God's abundant love in your life and little (can I say his name?). Sweet dreams each night and excited, glorious moments each day as you prepare.
