The Call

Today, I went into work for a meeting that lasted all morning and after that I went online to see if there were anymore postings for first calls. I found one and forward that to Martha. She called me and said that she called California and the referrals were suppose come in the afternoon. She called me later and said that she had not heard anything yet. 20 minutes later she called and told me that they were laying on someone's desk. She said that we will have our referral Thursday. We can't wait. We have been holding back the excitement until tonight. Sitting here writting this I am beginning to realize what this really means and I am having a hard time holding back the tears. We are soon going to be a family of four. God has answered so many prayers today and we must thank him and give him the glory. Thanks to all who have prayed, waited and have are still supporting us. Please keep on praying because this is the beginning of a long awaited journey to bring Shelby home. It was also you all who also prayed for us when we were adopting Sofia and your prayers helped bring her home.
