We got our referral!!!! I can almost hear the Hallelujah Chorus now. Carol actually called and told us about Henry yesterday, but she sent us the pictures of him today. We will meet with her tomorrow to take care of paper work.
Our Henry was born on March 10, 2009, and he was 7 lbs. 4 oz. His Korean name is Joon Seong Lee. Seeing his picture makes it very real that someday -- maybe Jan. or Feb. -- we're actually going to get our son!!!!
When Carol called yesterday she had to leave a message and she called Brent at work. He actually found out before I did. It's pretty ironic because for the last month whenever my phone rings I drop everything I'm doing to rush to the phone hoping that it will be Carol. Yesterday I heard the phone, but I was in the middle of singing Trixie her songs to put her down for her nap. I wanted Trixie to nap early because I have to wake her up early so we can pick up Lydia from kindergarten. So when I heard the phone I thought, "That won't be Carol!" and ignored the phone. I'd say God has a sense of humor and a sense of irony. We told the girls about the call over supper and for a minute I thought Lydia was going to cry because she was so happy. When the girls saw the pictures tonight they kissed them and carried them around and looked and looked at them. We are all so happy! :)
