On the Way...

I bet that got your attention, huh?  Well this title doesn't mean that we have a baby on the way...but that our four profile books are officially on their way from Snapfish!  I was so excited to finally get the green light to order them.  All we had to do was change the font to BOLD and shorten our wording on a page.  I had originally ordered the first one we submitted, but I want an "official" one for Little Miracle to have as a keepsake so that when he/she is older, they can have a copy of the exact book that their birthparent used to select us.  The books should be here any day...I will wait and track the shipping progress until it is at my doorstep.

On other news, our Home Study packet is sitting in the Arden (Asheville) office being approved by the head honcho there.  Once she approves it, then we will be able to put our book and info at the three branches and wait!

A few Monday's ago, I had my heart sink to the bottom of my stomache when my case worker called about a possible placement for us!!!!!  It was for a sibling pair, one 4 year old and newborn sisters.  I unfortunately didn't get back to her until Thursday, but if I would have known exactly the circumstances of her call...then I would have been all over it.  See, Ty and I have put in our preferences sheets that we want a Caucasian baby.  However, this was for Hispanic children.  I think that God is definitely tugging at our heart strings.  Our case worker knew that we aren't looking for trans-racial placement, but she was told to call all of her parents...is that a sign?  I mean, I don't want to accept just because it is the first opportunity...but wow.  It really rocked my world!  I mean this is the cultural shift in our area.  I have a nursery all ready to go, but a 4 year old as well...man~

God has the perfect plan for us, and we are anxiously awaiting becoming a forever family with a Little Miracle...or two?!
