Merry Christmas...to us!

The day we have been waiting for has arrived....yep - we received our referral!!! Yesterday at 8:48am central time we got a call from the agency. I answered the phone and Ben, our social worker asked if Paul was around. I said, "do you have news for us Ben?!" and he sure did! I then preceded to run down the stairs and yell to Paul with excitement "we have a referral! a referral!" We then put Ben on speaker phone and then the loud crying part of the conversation started, shortly followed by silence and shock part. I had the full range of emotions all in a 5 min period. We put a rush on the medical check through the U of MN international adoption clinic, got the results back in the afternoon and accepted the referral this morning. We are so excited - words can not describe! Our little boy was born June 30th, 2009. His name is Min Soo. He is almost 6 months old and is such a little cutie. We can not wait to meet him! Now we are in a mad dash to get the room in order, the house in order, the name picked out, the daycare found ,the job decision made...and the list goes on!

This is the best Christmas gift EVER!!!
