Exciting news

Sorry I didn't post sooner, but I have been busy working on adoption paperwork because on Friday, August 20th, we got a referral!!!!! It's a boy. I know that we have thought all along that it would be a girl, but we were wrong. We have a four year old boy joining our family. He is super cute and really needs a family. I am absolutely positive that he is the child that is meant to be in our family. The night before we got the referral I prayed for God to hurry the process up for us. I know it was a little selfish, but I know that I am not good at waiting for things, so I asked God to hurry and get the child that we were meant to have ready for us. It usually takes 4-8 months from the time a dossier goes to Ethiopia to get a referral and ours had only been there 3 weeks, so I definitely wasn't expecting a call the next morning, but that is what happened. We will be traveling for court sometime in the next 3 months. After the court date, we will be able to go back and pick him up to bring home in 3 or 4 weeks. We are very hopeful that we will have him home before Christmas. We are soooooo happy!!! Oh and another weird thing is that his birthday is the same day as Ty's.
