Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Dear Natalie, Happy Birthday to you!!!

Today is my sweet friend Natalie's birthday. She will be here the day after tomorrow, and I CANNOT wait. I will probably tackle her at the airport. Andrew will capture every moment with pics, and we will share.

OK, I know you all want to know about the famous "call". I was lying in my bed watching a little tv when the phone rang. I looked at the caller id and saw my agency's name. My stomach sank.....I knew either we were out or had another kick out. I vaguely remembering saying hello???? in question form. It was Terri saying those magic words. I thought I was going to pass out. I kept asking her if she was sure. She was so happy for us.....it was really a surreal moment. I need to ask her later what all I said! When we hung up I just sat for a second and thanked Jesus. I had prayed the night before that He would put AP's file in His hand and deliver it to that window! He answered our prayers. I still can't believe it......it doesn't seem real at all. I called Andrew immediately and we both cried. It's just unbelieveable. I started making phone calls, posted the blog, and the fun began. I got over 100 emails yesterday and over 1000 hits to the blog. I am so thankful for everyone's support and kind words. So much stress has just been lifted from my shoulders!!!! Our little girl is coming home, and I will have her in about 2 weeks NEVER to give her back! My agency has said it's fine for me to go early, so I booked the airline ticket and hotel. I am on my way June 11...... My prayers are now focused on releasing all the rest of these sweet babies. I will not stop until they are all home. I will write more later. Today I am just resting and basking in happiness!
love to you all.
