We Have A Daughter!!!!

So excited to announce our referral!!! We received that much awaited phone call from our agency director today. Our new baby girl is 6 weeks old....which makes her birthday right around Christmas. What a gift! She is beautiful and we are over the moon swooning at her picture. We cannot post her picture on the blog until her case goes to court and she is legally ours. This is a rule from the Ethiopian government of which we have great respect so we will be abiding by this rule. Sorry, but the second we hear that her case passed court (sometime in April?) I will post her pictures! Thank you for all the prayers...keep her and our family in them while we wait to bring her home. Hubby and his mom as well as my dad and stepmom will be travelling to get her. I can't wait to hold her in my arms:)
When we got Baby Guy's referral I was shopping at Target and felt like I should hurry home in case our agency called because I knew it was getting close to our time. When I got home there was a message from them about a referral. This morning I had to go to Target and I thought to myself..."Wouldn't it be weird if they called today while I was gone?". I was on my way home from Target and I got the call on my cell phone!!! Too funny and oh so exciting...I'm loving Target even more;)
