Our Precious New Girl!!!!! 10 months old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So.......drumroll please...........our next child is a girl- that's right 10 months old, and very beautiful- of course!!!!

OK so for those who are saying wait a minute you aren't even officially on the waitlist yet for AGCI (although we are almost finished). Yep, well our hearts found a child on the waiting list. We have been praying A LOT!!!!!! Seeking HIS WISDOM!!!!!! Praying some more.....talking, praying some more......talking, praying.....- did I mention that we prayed a lot!!!

So she is 10 months old adorable....appoximately 26" long/tall, about 15.5 lbs. Her birthday written down (which is always a guess when they are from Ethiopia) is November 10th....of course it is all of our family's birthdays/adoption days, anniversary are all within 6 months of the year. With our little one- this makes 3 birthdays in November!!!!

We will be naming her Naomi Caroline Wright!!!!! We couldn't be happier and more over the moon with finding our child that God has brought to us!

Of course we did say she was on the waiting child list. Not sure about giving too much away but she does need HEALING!!!! Now the best part is that WE KNOW A FATHER WHO HEALS!!!!!! So we are depending on lots of HEALING, praying, and doctors will be involved in this, but we feel at ease that this child belongs to God- not us. We know that God picked this child to be in our arms & our HEARTS, and we know that God loves her more than anything!

So we rest in that and know that our wonderful Blog friends will be with us on this journey to laugh and cry with us and to pray alongside us as well- THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!

Now....updates.....Jason is still really out of it...in some pain......but healing from his surgery (for kidney stones).

We had our Orientation Call this past Tuesday!!! We of course sent everything in (after Jason's surgery) on Wednesday....

We have our Dossier Call this upcoming Wednesday, and somewhere in there too we will have our official Referral Call to go over our referral.

WOW!!!!! Seem crazy to anyone else? It is!!!!!

Other than doing the wonderful book- Eyes Wide Open, the only other things we have to do are CPS checks from Iowa (which is new from last time), and get that one sheet state notary checked. Not sure what the technical term is, but for those of you in the process you may know. I think it is state certified.

We feel very lucky that our State Farm agent is a notary and is thrilled that we are adopting- again, and does our notarizing for free- Thank You Brenda!!!! What a great Neighbor!!!!

Well, I think my brain is about to explode- from JOY & LOVE for our Naomi, and of course EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Celebrating God's Wonderful Gift of Adoption!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
