Jessica Lang (the actress) had gone on a trip over to Romania with a group of prople who were on a mission to bring some of the children out of a horrible orphanage over there and bring them to the states to have their medical needs taken care of and find forever homes for them.
Our dd was one of the children they brought over and at first Jessica Lang had thought she would take care of all of our dd's medical needs then find her a family. Well she ended up getting very attached to our dd and thought she might see how she fit in with her family. She was making a lot of movies at the time and was away from home a lot so she decided again that she should find our dd a family. We were just hanging out at home when a friend of ours who knew both us and Jessica Lang called us to tell us about dd because he knew we were looking to adopt, but told us it would be between us and another family. He also never told us who our dd was living with just a family in Virginia.
so we got a tape of our dd that Jessica made and fell in love with her the minute we saw her. About a week later our friend called to tell us that Jessica had changed her mind and planned to keep dd. About four months later we were home eating dinner when our friend called again to say that Jessica wanted us to have dd and would be calling us in a half hour to discuss everything.
Two weeks later we met our beautiful dd and Jessica at the airport and took her home.
With ds we were eating icecream and I was doing laundry on a Saturday afternoon when the phone rang and the caller ID showed that it was our facilitator. Now mind you I jumped out of my skin everytime the phone would ring Monday-Friday thinking it might be "the call" so the fact that it was a Saturday threw me off. I just looked at dh, shrugged and said it's our facilitator wonder what they want. DUH! LOL!
They were calling to tell us about a baby boy who had been born the day before and said the birthmom had chosen us as first choice out of three couples and they needed to know right away if we were interested because if not they needed to try to get in touch with one of the other families. The birthmother needed us to get to the hospital that night!
So we told them we needed to talk about it for a few minutes, we hung up, prayed, and called them back 10 min. later to say YES!! Then it was a whirlwind of getting three people packed, making arrangements for animals, Etc.. We made it to our destination that night and we took our son home 7 days later after getting a clean bill of heath from NICU.
