Exciting Revelation!

Jill called and totally brightened my day! She told me that she had been talking to Carol and was told that right now the wait for referrals was pretty short. Carol said that the time from signing up and getting on the list to referral was 8 months. 8 months!!!! We got on the list Oct. 1, so 8 months from that is June. I can't believe how soon that suddenly is. If we get a referral in June we should be traveling 3-4 months after that wich would put us in September or October instead of December. I'm incredibly excited and also as this reality is barreling towards us I'm finding several things to be nervous about. In those nervous/excited moments I remind myself that God has brought us here and will be with us. Me and my family have a lot of love to give and God is on our side, so everything will be fine. Oh, I just can't wait!!!!!!!

Hurray!

This past Wednesday our Social Worker, Carol, and I braved the snow to meet at the Bread company. She had just a few questions and then gave me some information that I've been dying to know. She said that Henry might be born sometime around this time or is about to be born!! Of course I won't know for a while when he's born, but it's exciting to know that it's sometime around now. Every time I think of it I say a prayer for him, his mom, his foster mom and for us. This is also exciting news because around 5-6 months after Henry's birth we should get a referral and picture. AND THEN 3-6 months after that we can go get Henry. I'm thinking that my goal of getting Henry by Christmas might not be so far fetched!!
