News Flash!
At 4:49 PM Thursday afternoon, our adoptive parent counselor called me at work.
After our brief "hello's", she said "This is the call you have been waiting for."
Yes, my friends, we got THE CALL.
Our precious, healthy, baby boy was born on Feb. 13, 2009.
He's a tiny little guy, weighing in at 5 lb., 12 oz.
We're picking him up on Tuesday.
I wept ... for an hour.
We have a son whom we will welcome into our arms in 5 days.
No, life doesn't get any sweeter.
Praise God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to get our call!
5 days are going to be the hardest of all but filled with such joy. I know you'll be shopping like crazy to make sure you have everything.
Congratz again! Praise God.
Oh my word, congratulations!!
SO very excited for you!!!!
although we have never met IRL, I have followed your journey for at least a year now through a fellow adoptive mom's blog. My sister in Florida who also follows your blog called me last night to tell me the news as she saw it on Colette's facebook page and I couldn't be happier for you and Brian! I know that this little boy is the answer to many prayers and the long road you had to welcoming him to your family... and just wanted to say a big congratulations!!! Enjoy your sweet little boy and I look forward to seeing pics of his homecoming.
