I'm so overwhelmed (and drained) and don't want to do the "how it happened" post right now as it'll be too short and sweet without the energy to give the actual details...
We (MP) got the call today about our amazing daughter in Ethiopia... Wow!
He called me and we did a three way with our social worker to get the tid bits today but had to meet with him at five tonight to see pictures and get the details... The call came at lunchtime so you can imagine the suspense of having to wait!
She is a three year old girl that just came into the Horizon House (our agency home) a week ago.
I don't think it's wise to say her name quite yet, but her name starts with a "T"!
We are numb, we are infatuated, we are IN LOVE, we are scared for her, we are beyond words!!!
I can't wait to post her picture ~
Nine months and change... we have a little girl!
Love and hugs to all of you that have been an amazing source of strength and wisdom throughout this process..
Hopefully tomorrow I'll have the "where with all" to post the details of "the call"!!!!!!
Praise the Lord, it has come.
