A wonderful family received there call today for a baby boy. I have been following them from the beginning of our adoption and I am overjoyed for them. It's nice to be able to follow along with others on this journey!
So this now puts us at #3 on the boys list!!!
We are so so excited!!!! My emotions have been here and there and everywhere!!! I am so anxious for our call, but I know God has His timing. I have to wait on His timing. Can His timing be tomorrow?!?!? I cant wait to hear about our baby boy and see the pictures of this child that we have been praying for and that has been growing in our hearts. God has this child handpicked for us and right now the hardest part is not knowing. Not knowing the situation that he is in right now and not knowing what he is doing. I guess really we just don't know anything! With Maggie I will ask her what she thinks her brother is doing right now. It's fun to imagine what he is doing, sleeping, eating, playing...
ok I am ready...
So now we know who is #1 on the boys list, but we have no clue who is #2...this is going to be hard for me. But maybe it will make for a bigger surprise when we do receive our call!!!
Continue to pray for our family and the finances of this adoption. We have applied for grants and are just waiting to hear back from them.
OOOOOOHHHH! This is getting sooo exciting! :)
ReplyDeleteALMOST!!! It will be coming! Praying for those grants! So hard, but sooo worth it!
ReplyDeleteSooo excited for you guys! You'll be like Audrey and Brian...just out of the blue one day you'll get the call that changes everything =) Can't hardly stand the excitement!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe we haven't been able to find mystery family #2!! Whitney was so thoughtful and called today to tell us their news. I would love to do the same for you. I can at least let you know when you're #2!
ReplyDeleteAnd here's some news for you. Our official siblings # is 6. But there is some reason to believe we may be #2 on siblings. Which would make you #3!! Is there room for one more in that freshly painted nursery? :)

I am so happy for you!!!! This is such an exciting time... enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! WE had a mystery person in front of us too! It was hard, but made it quite exciting not knowing when "the call" would come. It happened out of the blue! We are sooooo happy for you. Isn't it so crazy to think that there is a great possibility your little guy is out there!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so close!!! I think we were officially #4 when we got THE CALL!!!!! That was one of the best days of my life....to finally see that face of the baby we had been praying for!! BUT the day she was placed into my arms forever was....AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear all about your call!!

So excited for you! # 3 WOW! That makes us at #8 and we were #13 just a month ago!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to ask you about the list on the other listserv...have you noticed that as it is, there were 2 families listed at #4...so that kinda throws the numbers off...so I am not for sure that we don't know who #2 is...I am thinking that it is #1 the andersons then that makes Rebecca and Dobb #2 and that is what they have on their blog also! So looks like the list was just off a little bit and you know who is before you!! Hope that helps!
WOW! This is getting crazy!!! After reading your comment back, I looked at MilFamMilwaukee blog and they just put that they are #1...and they thought they were #2 ...when you guys think your #3...so I bet you are #2!! haha! You now know who #2 is!! :) How funny! I am loosing my mind trying to keep up...thank goodness God knows!!
ReplyDeleteJust read Whitney's post about her call, and it made me think about you guys. Just wanted to send some encouragement your way...I know how hard it is to wait. Praying for you and looking forward to hearing YOUR story soon!!!
ReplyDeleteGetting close- you must be so excited!

That call will come before you know it!! So excited for you!
ReplyDeleteAre y'all just going crazy?!?! I sure am! This "being near the top" stuff is just too much--especially not knowing whether the family ahead of us has received their call! Major distraction wondering if/when each day is the day! I'm wired with adrenaline but getting little else done. So hard to focus! Chris and Jana sent me a message and said that a "bunch" of new little ones arrived at Hannah's Hope last week before Chris left to come home. Maybe ours are in the mix?!?! Hopefully we won't be waiting much longer! Ahhhhh!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine the suspense....here is a prayer going up for you all!
