Magic Moment!

My Atlanta blogger friends Lisa and Eammon just recieved the referral of their daughter today. They have been such encouraging members to the Atlanta area adopters and everyone is just so overjoyed that now, finally they will be meeting their daughter, Maisie, soon.

Every time the new rounds of referrals are announced I get so excited and teary. It is like reliving our special moment. The anticipation of actually seeing your baby's face, learning her birthdate!, her hometown!, her likes and dislikes is a moment that cannot compare to any other place and time on this earth. Most of us prayed and waited and worried for years to recieve this confirmation of our newest familiy member and dear loved one.

Even compared to becoming bio-parents, this moment of referral is more emotional and completely exhilirating.

Congratulations Lisa and Eammon!
