The Call

On Thursday December 4,2008 we received "the call".I was at work and Love instant messaged me saying that our Social Worker called and said she had a 1 month old baby for us!!!Right at that moment the door opened at the office...(No one had came in for the last 2 hours I had been there).So after what seemed like an eternity I was able to call Love. We talked about the situation and told our Socail Worker we would be interested in the situation.She asked when could we see her. We both said we could be on our way now.When we got to the Adoption Agency we were told more about the situation and we decided the baby would be a perfect match for us.We will be picking him up on 12/10/08.When we told Precious Daughter she jumped up and down for about 5 minutes.At first it wasn't sinking in yet. I think it won't be real until He's home with us.So our adoption journey took 9 months and 5 days!!!Our social worker made the comment that she thinks that adoptive parents have a sixth sense about when they have a match...because remember I called her on Wednesday.She said she knew then but she could not say anything because she was waiting on medical paper work.

December Update

I called the Social Worker today, to ask how long our homestudy would be valid and if we needed to do any thing to our profile.She said that the profile was perfect and that our homestudy would be good for 2 years and that we would have a baby long before it will be time to renew it.She said the agency had several moms they were working with and wanted to know what we were doing for Christmas and I told her we had nothing planned.I told her about an up comming trip and she asked who would be keeping Precious Daughter.I told her that my mother in law would be.As usual she ended our conversation with "hope to be talking to you soon".All I can say is that it was an interesting conversation and that I am not going to read anything into it.I know that when we are meant to get our son we will.
On the home front the nursery is complete all we need is a baby and diapers (still can't decide which ones to use).Precious Daughter is a bit discouraged because it is taking so long to get a baby brother.I try to be encouraging.....but I know how she feels.
