It's a GIRL!!!

Well......It has been a day. I have been pacing all day not sure whether to wet my pants or get something else to eat (bad choice!!!) We received news early that referrals may come today or tomorrow. After contacting our agency, I learned that the packages from China usually arrive between noon and 1pm CST and today they thought they might run late due to the holiday yesterday. Well, it was 9am EST! What am I to do for 4 plus hours??? Matt called several times to "check in" and every time the phone rang, my heart skipped a beat.

At 2:54pm EST we got THE CALL! We have baby girl! Her Chinese name is Jiangcheng Ci and she was born on October 29, 2007 (10 months old!) She is currently in the Guangdong Province at the Jiangcheng District Welfare Institute soon to reside in BIG CANOE, GA!!!

We could not be more thrilled and cannot wait to get there! We expect to receive a package with the original photos and other acceptance documents on Thursday and travel plans should follow. We will continue to keep you updated as things develop.

Thank you all for your prayers, patience, love and support throughout these 32 long months! It has been a journey and we have only just begun. God is faithful and once again he has blessed us beyond measure. Thanks be to God!
