Our long, emotional, trying journey of completing our family is over! We got the referral (phone call) yesterday and an email filled with pictures and information about Ephram. We are overjoyed!! Even though it's been a long time coming I was honestly SHOCKED because I thought maybe it wasn't going to happen. Another surprising thing is that he was born on June 3, 2009. We were told that we would be getting an older baby (10-12 months old) yet we're getting this sweet baby boy. The baby that God handpicked for our family. The baby that we have waited a LONG time for. I am just smiling so big...can't get over this! It's the third time I've gotten this phone call, but just as exciting.
Once we do all the paperwork and get it mailed back we'll wait 3-4 months before traveling to Korea to pick him up. We've never had to travel before so this is all new to us! I just can't wait to kiss those cheeks:)
