Those were the words Charlie spoke to me around 11:15am this morning. He called me at work and said "how's your day going?"....I said "uh, um..OK"....he said "your day is going to get a whole lot better"....then he told me that he was on his way to pick me up and we were going to Dillon for lunch. What? Oh my...this couldn't be happening. Yep...it was happening. Rebecca (our social worker) called him and told him that they had a referral for us.
It took us FOREVER to go about 5 miles to the Dillon office. We sat down with Katie in the conference room and she began going over the referral paperwork. It just seemed so surreal. So much different than Ian's referral day. We looked over the information and we knew that he was our son.
Then the moment came. The moment when we first saw a glimpse of his sweet little face. I knew the moment I saw him that I was looking at the face of my son. He's so cute. He almost 3 months old. He was born on July 10th in the province of Ninh Thuan. We'll name him Drew Austin Quang Conner.
Now the wait begins. Hopefully we'll be on the short end of the 3-6 month wait, but anything can happen.
It's been an amazing day and we are so, so thankful for the new blessing that God brought into our lives today.
Charlie was right....my day was GREAT!!!
