The countdown begins....

We officially submitted our acceptance for an adoption of a baby in Kazakhstan. We knew from day one this little boy or girl is the one for us but kept thinking this is too good to be true! 
So now we wait for our Letter of Invite from Kazakhstan. Two weeks? One month? Maybe two months from now, we will get our letter, book our tickets, and fly across the world to the little one waiting  for a family. In the meantime, this family needs to get themselves ready for the baby!

Got the call we've been waiting for!

We finally got our phone call! On April 10th our adoption coordinator called me at work to give us news. I was surprised to get a call from Susan and did not expect to hear such great news. I was in shock for a while and the girls in the office had to help me call Mike and forward the email to him- I was all thumbs! That morning, Mike was in Reno, visiting his Dad, and was driving in the snow to a ski resort when I called. He pulled over to read the email on his phone and for anyone who knows Mike well, it takes an act from God to distract him from getting to a ski resort on a powder day!! So basically, that is how Mike and I can sum up our phone call on our Good Friday.
