And we see her face . . .

I had totally resigned myself to the fact that we were not going to see our baby's face today.  At about 2:30, I gave up the thought and hope for a call this afternoon, knowing that in due time we would get the call.  It just wasn't going to be today.  The phone rang a record number of times today.  Or at least it seemed to be a record number of times.  Everytime it rang, I jumped, wondering and wishing for it to be "the call".  As I left the office at 2:45 I was at peace with the fact that it just wasn't the day.

I gathered all 3 kids from school and went on my way to the first baseball practice drop off.  It was on our way there, at 3:08,  I saw the area code come up on my phone that I had been waiting for all day.  However, as I saw it, I was positive that this call was only to tell me that packages didn't arrive and the staff were leaving for the day.

As I heard our agency coordinator say "We have John on the line too."  I thought just for a second maybe this is it, but didn't know if I should believe it.  Then the words came, "We have your daughter's referral information".

I pulled over at the baseball field, grabbed the extra copy of the call sheet I had made for Wednesday's call and we started getting the information.  Seriously, this really was the day!

She is adorable.  She is young.  She is too far away and I would love to hold her tonight!
And, here she is . . .
