Here We Go

Well here it is, our first official blog entry.  As you know Abby and I are adopting a child (or possibly twins) from China.  Later this week we hope to have our referral which will include a picture, age, and medical history.  Abby and I have chosen to adopt a child with minor special needs so the medical reports will be especially important.  Once we receive the information it will be evaluated by the International Adoption Clinic in Birmingham.  The clinic is made up doctors and specialist that have all adopted children internationally.  Once we have our referral we will have 48 hours to accept or decline.  The waiting child list comes out on the 25th of every month (Thursday) and we hope to be contacted soon after.  Our adoption agency has a young lady named Lilly that will be matching us with a child.  Even though God already has her picked out Lilly will be physically matching us.  We ask that you please pray for Abby and I as we go through this exciting time and also for Lilly who will be so instrumental in our referral.  We will update you as soon as we have anymore news.
