Today was a good day!

Today I received pictures of Jordan from a traveling mom. It really means a lot to see pictures of your little one when they are so far away. I can’t wait until the day I am the one holding the camera taking his picture.

The Call

When the call came it was totally unexpected at that moment. Although I had been anxiously waiting for over two weeks for the phone to ring, I was caught off guard. I forgot I had given the agency my work cell number and since I have clients in the same area code I assumed the call was business related. I was totally surprised when I heard my case manager’s voice. I couldn’t run to my computer fast enough to see him for the first time. As she was going over the information all I could do was stare at his picture. I wanted to call my husband but I knew he was driving and wouldn’t be able see the picture at that time and there was no way I was waiting a minute longer. As she was going over the information I tried to remain focus on what she was saying but I couldn’t. Every now and then I would make a sound to let her know that I was still on the line.

Seeing his face made everything feel real. I would be honored to be his mommy and I would be immensely grateful if MOWA and the Ethiopian courts agreed.

Next step........back to waiting

Still Waiting

Waiting for the phone to ring is tough, especially when you are close to the end. This video put a smile on my face. I know it will do the same for you. Enjoy!
