Referral!

Finally! The day we've been waiting for is here! Our agency, America World called this afternoon to tell us that we have a beautiful, 13 month old little boy (and he is beautiful! I'm telling you, you could get lost in those big, brown eyes.) He is gorgeous! I'm really at a loss for words right now, and wish I could just show you a picture. Unfortunately, we're not allowed to post pictures on public forums (like blogs) until he's legally ours.

Along this whole road, I've seen God's hand move in tremendous ways, but I've also experienced incredible worries and doubts. When we very first started adopting, Asia, our oldest daughter who is 4, told us, very emphatically that her baby brother's name was Moses. So you can imagine my surprise when Terra, our coordinator, told me that they had a precious little boy for our family, and ... you guessed it ... his name is Moses! I cannot doubt the hand of God! He knew all along the perfect child for our family! We're not sure right now if we'll keep Moses as his first name, but it will definitely be in there somewhere.

Now we wait for a court hearing to legally make us his parents. We so appreciate your prayers as we get closer and closer to bringing Moses home.
