Referral!

Received our referral of a baby boy on Thursday. We gave our local agency a verbal acceptance yesterday afternoon and will drive up there Monday afternoon to officially sign papers to send to the Korean agency.

He is 5 1/2 months old and cute as a button. We're hoping for a short wait for the immigration/ visa stuff. Maybe even travel by Halloween. We shall see!

Just as a side note- we have had a very short adoption journey so far. Only 6 1/2 months from application to referral. We are so blessed!
