I guess I should have waited a few more days to write my last post because "soon" came much sooner then I was expecting. We just received an email this morning informing us that the Board has chosen us to adopt the little girl we requested. This is not an official match yet, but they are putting her on hold for us in order to complete and submit all the paperwork required. At this point, it is unlikely that they will not match us with her after everything is submitted. We are beyond excited about this! I was really sick last night and had a horrible night, so I was a little late in checking my email this morning. Luckily the girls hadn't left for school yet, so I was able to share the exciting news with them and then we all called Jason together. He told me to send him the email, because I don't think he believed me. He's not always the most optimistic person, so I think he was expecting this not to work out for us. I think he is very happy though. I know the kids are. I heard them talking on the way out the door saying that this was the happiest day of their lives. They are so excited to share the news with all their friends. What an amazing Christmas present we have received today! I got tears in my eyes when I read the news. God is so good and I am so thankful for this precious blessing He is giving us and trusting us with. I feel honored that we were chosen to be her family and I can't wait to meet her and hug her and kiss her all over!
Now we have a couple months worth of paperwork to do and then more waiting. If everything goes well, then we should be matched with her by March and then travel sometime during the summer to pick her up. This is going to be a very busy next couple of months, but it will be so worth it!
