He was definitely worth the wait! We got a REFERRAL yesterday! A little boy waiting for us in Ethopia. He is a smiley, healthy baby. He has been in the orphanage for about a month. He is the cutest thing you have ever seen. We would love to put his picture on here but we are not allowed to until we bring him home. So, if you see me, ask for my new baby album which has one page filled in with his picture!
Kendal is really excited. She keeps calling him her "baby brother" instead of by his name (which is hard to pronounce). She helped me go through her clothes already and get out anything that may fit him that was gender neutral - not much by the way. I didn't realize how much PINK we have!
We cannot be more excited. We meet with our social worker on Friday to fill out some more paperwork and send him a small photo book of us so he can see who we are. We will travel the first time in about three months to go to a court date and then see him in the orphanage. That trip will be about 4-5 days long. We can't actually take him out of there until the second visit which will be around 1-3 months after that. Then, the little guy can come home with us.
GOD IS SO GOOD!!! Please pray for him that he has the best care possible and that he knows deep down that he has a family that loves him so much! Thank you all for all of your prayers. God was listening!

Good to hear your friends/family are praying for patience for you now. This waiting period (now that you've seen a picture of your little guy) can be so hard. See you on Friday :)!
Congratulations!
We are thrilled for you all.
