We got the call!!!!!

We got our referral!!! Monday February 16th we got to see our baby girls face for the first time. She is unbelievably beautiful. I still can't get over how perfect she is! I love her so much. Right now she's about four months old. I can't wait to show you all her picture. Unfortunately we are not allowed to post her picture until after we pass court. And I don't know how I am ever going to make it the next few months. I want to go get her right now! Oh and did I mention that she's GORGEOUS! God is SO GOOD!

We're #1 We're #1

Oh my goodness we're NUMBER ONE!!!! The next time they get a baby girl it will be ours!!! I'm actually going to get to see a picture of my baby! I'm so happy. I'm so so happy! I keep walking around her room and touching her blanket and her doll and her crib. And then jumping up and down and doing the happy dance. :)

Still Waiting

As far as I know we are still number 2 on the waitlist. In the past they have received more than one referral at a time. So we really could get a referral anyday. Everytime my phone rings my heart jumps and I think "Maybe it's Sue". (our case worker). And every night I fall asleep thinking maybe tomorrow I'll get my first glimpse of my daughters beautiful face.
I have been praying for a couple of months that Ethiopia would asign more judges to the adoption cases. Until now there has been 1 judge for all adoptions in Ethiopia. I read from someone else's blog this week that they recieved notice that Ethiopia has assigned some new judges. But they are not authorized to work yet. So please pray that they would be able to start soon. This could make a huge difference in my case. We could see our baby several months sooner!
Thank you so much for your love and support and all of your prayers. It means the world to us.
