Yahoo!! Well, we weren't expecting to hear anything from our agency until after Spring Break but we were elated to receive a call from them on April 5th, while we were in Boise! Scott received the call while he was at the park with his good friends, Dave & Wayne, and all of our kids. While I was on a lunch date with my girlfriends, Hester, Pernille, and Kelli. When we all got back to the park the kids were running after our van as we were parking. As soon as I opened the door Kaleb announced to me that our agency had called! My mouth dropped and my stomach started doing flip flops! I could not believe it was finally happening! It turns out they had two girls who matched our request for a 6-18 month old girl with a minor health issue/special need. We had prayed that if we were put in this position that God would show us clearly which child was to be ours. Well, we rushed over to Wayne and Pernille's house to open up the e-mails of each girl's file. One little girl was 9 months old and did not have a right hand and the other little girl was 11 months old and had mild pulmonary stenosis. They were both beautiful! There was so much to look over and consider but then we got our answer! We had already chosen our soon to be adopted daughter's name to be Gracie Mei. We chose her middle name after my Grandma Kindall's middle name, Mae, but decided to spell it the Chinese way-Mei. Well, when we looked at the girls' names the little girl with the heart condition's first name was Mei!!! We knew this was our daughter!!! Her birthday also happens to be April 23, 2006 and our anniversary is March 23, 1996. We are not into numerology or anything but the number 23 is very sentimental to us. Then, we read the description her caretaker wrote about her that states she is active and likes to go to places that are fun and noisy!!! She will fit right in!!! :) We are so full of joy and can't wait for her to join our family! But wait again we must! :)
