REFERRAL...Need I Say More?

We have an official referral, one girl, one boy!!!

We are not able to post their photo, names or any specifics yet, as stated by the Colombian Government. But as soon as we get the go ahead, I will have it up for you. My mind is spinning right now, so I will post more info tmw.

All I can say, YES WE ACCEPT!!! What an amazing feeling. We love them so dearly already and Emi and Nate are beside themselves. Everyone is on cloud nine and super excited.

Tomorrow Julie, the program director will be calling me and we will be able to get going on a timeline for travel etc.

Sorry I don't have time to post more info, but I promise...more tmw!

Oh, and just a cool tid bit, we got the call exactly 6 mts from the time our paperwork landed in Colombia.

Beth and Eric,
This is such amazing news! I have to admit yesterday when I was leaving a comment on your blog about how I thought your referral would be very soon, my arms and fingers were shaking uncontrollably and I could feel it was so close for you!!! How cool to be able to see their faces and learn more about your children! Isn't it just the greatest? God works such wonders!!! I'll definitely be popping in on your blog several times a day now!

You'll enjoy having 2 girls and 2 boys. I sure do! It helps to even things out usually. I'm sure Emi and Nate are so very excited! Sending my congratulations and lots of prayers! God is pouring out His many blessings upon you!!! HALLELUJAH!
Love, Genece
