WE GOT OUR REFERRAL!

We received a referral for a 7 year old boy on Tuesday, Jan 29th! We have been a little hesitant about letting people know just yet because there are lots of questions. When we talked to Julie (from CHI), she said this was the least amount of information she has received on a child in a very, very long time. She suggested we request more information which we have. Unfortunately, she said it will take at a minimum of 2 weeks before we will hear anything. So, for now, we are going ahead with the necessary paperwork to prepare to go get our son. Please pray that everything works out for us and our son. He is so precious and we would love nothing more than to be able to have him as part of our family. We will keep everyone updated as soon as we hear something.

Congratulations!! A boy will be a wonderful addition to your family. They certainly are different than girls, but equally wonderful!
We'll be praying for quick information and travel.
