Spore Seven!!!

Through tears and laughter I write to let you know we are one step closer to being the Spore SEVEN! This morning we received a referral for a beautiful baby boy. I can't post a picture here or tell many specifics, but we will love sharing more with you in the coming days. Suffice it to say, he is the most beautifully formed baby boy I have ever laid my eyes on (okay, so it's a tie with his two big brothers)! H has already told me he is going to teach him how to brush his teeth and how to swim. Please pray we will be able to complete things before the end of November so we will be able to travel to get him before Christmas. We are rejoicing today!

I don't even know you---but have always planned to adopt from Africa--and have recently decided Rwanda specifically. I grew up in East Africa as a missionary kid and have been following all of you Rwandan adoption families blogs obsessively. I am crying with joy tonight. And praying for fast court dates!!!

Congratulations and many blessings on the rest of the journey!

I found this out a couple days ago and then couldn't log in to say "YAHOO" and "PRAISE THE LORD". I can only imagine your excitement but my tears of joy are with you!

Praying still,
