OFFICIALLY WAITING

We received word on January 8th, 2013 that we are officially accepted into the Honduras International Program and we are number #111 on the waiting list! We were so excited!! We've been in this process for 16 months now and we have been waiting for this big milestone since our dossier arrived in Honduras in July of 2012. Our number is a lot higher than we thought it would be when we signed up but we know God has a plan for all of this!

We were told recently by our agency that once we make it onto the waiting list we could be looking at 2-3 years before we receive a referral. We are praying it's before then because we are so ready to welcome our little man home! No matter what, we still have a while ahead of us. At least now we're "waiting with a purpose". As Nathan told some friends this weekend...the past 6 months we've been in the lobby and now we're in the actual waiting room.

One of the neat things adoptive families like to do is post creative pictures of each number they receive. It's a fun way to look back at the numbers you've received, makes cute pictures to be in a "baby book", and helps to pass the time as you go down the list. I can't wait to post lots of number pictures because each time will mean we are little bit closer! Here is our first picture.

Daddy was taking the picture little man. Mommy, Addison, and Weston are all holding up a finger for our first number, #111. We can't wait to keep moving down the list so we can bring you home!!!
