HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!! Goosebumps! I love it - this is our version of what it was like the day a mom finds out she's pregnant!
Our call came Oct 7 2006 when I was out to lunch w/ a co-worker. He and his wife are adoptive parents had been references for us for our application. We'd had a failed match a few weeks before, so he took me to lunch so we could talk about it. Right after I told him I was feeling okay about it because it must have happend for God's reason, our SW called my cell because she'd been trying to reach my hubby and couldn't.
She told me a boy had been born the day before, was ready to come home the next day and we'd been chosen by his bmom!!!!! I think I grabbed my co-worker's hand, then hugged him after the call - right before he had to walk over to our company owners at another table to beg for a ride back to work so I could head right home - I bet he had some explaining to do!!!!!
It will forever be the most amazing day of my life..................... I still get tears......
