On May 6th we received an email saying that we had a referral coming so we should keep our phones close. For a week my phone did not leave my side. Every ring, text, or beep made my heart race. Finally, on May 14th at 3:54 am my phone rang and it was not a US number. It was our referral call!! 489 days after they accepted our application, we know who we've been praying for. We will be the parents to Alexander Nathaniel! Since he is not legally ours yet, we are not able to post pictures but as soon as we are allowed, I will get them up.
We still have a very long journey ahead of us that includes two trips to Taiwan. We ask for prayers that the courts will move quickly and in our favor and that all financial needs will be met. We also ask that you pray for the birth family as I'm sure this will not be easy for them.
We are so thankful for all of the prayers, encouragement, and financial support. We thank God for the life He chose to be a part of our family.
