Our new wee one is almost three months old and she is precious. I'm sure you all understand that we're being cautiously optimistic at this point but it's hard not to love this little girl already!
I spoke with our caseworker Christy late Wednesday morning and Jason and I immediately told her we would proceed with the referral. Christy over-nighted all the paperwork to us, which we received on Thursday, Thursday night we had our phone consultation with our international pediatrician who gave us two thumbs way up! and then I stayed up late getting all the paperwork done. Luckily, I started mid-winter break today so Jason and I could go to the bank to get everything notarized.
On a side note: Is anyone else out there having their notaries run and hide when they see you coming? Ours doesn't even ask for our I.D.'s anymore she just says, "Oh, I know you" and then proceeds to roll her eyes. Trust me lady, paperwork isn't really our cup of tea either.
After the bank it was straight to FedEx to overnight everything to AGCI. However, it won't get there until Tuesday morning because of the holiday. Aaagghhh!! President's Day!! How can FedEx give us "the world on time" and still take holidays?!
I did email and call Christy to tell her we are definitely moving forward with the referral so we can start waiting for court.
You all know we can't post full pictures but here is a little glimpse. Don't you just love a nice, big gummy smile?
We are still very much missing the baby we lost but having this new little face to look at is really helping. Now we just have to make it through this interminable wait and keep hoping and praying that things will turn out for us this time around.
