Referral has landed in Fredericton!

Oh! It is getting closer! We heard from NB Adoption Services today that our referral paperwork arrived at their office. The director faxed the forms to our adoption agency to be translated.
What does this mean time-wise? We're hoping that we will see our baby by the end of this week.
Surprisingly enough, when Roger called me at school to tell me, I didn't lose it - emotionally speaking. I didn't even cry. I know, you don't believe me. But it is true. After getting all the details from Roger he said, "Now go whisper the news to Tori."
On my way to Tori's office Janice intercepted me, "Can I listen in, too?" She knew from my end of the conversation on the phone that something was up. So I told both Tori and Jan.
Jan said that it got here faster than she was anticipating...but only by one day. She figured we would hear tomorrow. I love being surrounded by people of faith and positivity!
Roger called his mom to tell her the news and I tried to call my mom. But she wasn't answering. I did get to tell her about an hour later when she called the school to find out if I needed spinach. (She was heading to town. And I did need it.)
So now we wait...expectantly...for the call...to meet our baby.
breathe...Patti...breathe.....

Someday Mom

As a girl I had a common dream, to be a mom someday.

My baby would have eyes of blue and hair the hue of hay.

But now my dreams have been transformed. New visions fill my head.

Now the tresses that I long to stroke are raven black instead.

And in my dreams those eyes are not so big or blue or round.

Now in my dreams they're almond shape and colored cocoa brown.

And in my dream my arms can stretch across enormous seas.

They reach half-way around the world and hold you close to me.

As you grow in your mother's womb, carefully knit together,

Your also growing in my heart, where you will stay forever.

And in my dreams the moment that your mother says good-bye,

I'll be right there to comfort you and hold you as you cry.

Our features may not look alike; we're different as can be.

But still I know the Father has created you for me.

And though I've not yet seen your face, or held your tiny hands,

And though we're half a world apart in very different lands.

I'll be right there to get you just as soon as God allows.

But til he says the time is right I give to you this vow.

I'll pray for your protection every night on bended knee

for God will hold you in his arms, until you're home with me!
