There are those moments in life that you never forget. This was one of them.
It was 6:26 PM and we were driving north on the Creek Turnpike between 51st and 31st Street. We were taking dinner to a couple at church who had recently been blessed with a newborn son, when Jim's cell phone rings. (You know, it is never a good thing to talk on your cell phone while driving, especially when you receive incredibly good news. . .) It was our social worker calling to inform us that they had a little girl for us to consider. Jim had a hard time keeping the car on the road and Katy went into a state of blissful shock. This is the news we had been waiting for over three and a half years to hear. The call completely caught us off guard as we were not expecting to receive a referral for another 3 to 6 months. We were overwhelmed and filled with such joy! But then we had to wait . . .
