As promised, this week is supposed to be about our adoption {as if I could talk about anything else!}. But, before I share what's been going on, I want to give you a little glimpse into the beautiful Ozarks in the Fall as viewed from my room this week at the Missouri School Counselor's Association conference. :)
Isn't it gorgeous?! Ah, Tan-Tar-A...how I love a little get-away to learn new stuff! :)
OK, now for the main show...
So, on Monday, there was ANOTHER referral in our agency. This time, it was a 6 1/2 month old boy. We were ecstatic to realize that this means we've moved up to
YEA!!
However, that excitement quickly turned to crazy, over-the-moon, hyperventilating anticipation after we realized {through a chain of events}, that we are number
for a boy!!
WE ARE AT THE TOP of our journey to a son!!!
Basically, if there is any boy under age 3.5 years for our agency to refer, he will be ours!
The only way we would get a girl is if there are 8 girls before there is 1 boy {we're thinking that's not likely} and the only way we'd get siblings is if there are 6 sets of siblings before 1 boy {again, not gonna happen}.
We are all feeling like this
We are so close, friends...SO CLOSE!
PLEASE join us in praying that it's soon...I'm not sure how long I can hold my breath like this without passing out!
Wohoooooo!! I'm on pins and needles to hear your news!
