Last night we were absolutely knocked over with surprise when we got THE CALL from our adoption agency.  It’s true, it happened, and I still cannot believe it.  We have a beautiful baby girl.  She is almost 18 months old, just over 3 months older than Josiah . . . so it looks like we’ll have “twins.”

We were busy coloring Easter eggs with the boys when the phone rang.  For some reason, as soon as I heard the ring, I just knew.  It was 6:45pm, kind of an odd time for someone to call . . . unless they are in Oregon and it is only 4:45.  I don’t know if I said more than five words to the program coordinator as she was telling me about our little girl.  I was speechless!

So, we are still walking around like zombies today, trying to process this incredible news.  We never, never, NEVER would have imagined that things would go this quickly. In fact, it’s a little frightening.  But we are putting all of our trust in the sovereignty and provision of our God, who knew before time that this is exactly how things would work out.  His timing is perfect, and I am trusting that He knows what He is doing.

We should travel sometime this summer to bring her home.  I’m guessing July or August, but again . . . who knows?  Obviously every prediction that I have made about this process has been blown out of the water.
