God has answered our prayers!

What a wonderful day it is! My cheeks hurt from smiling so much and tears of happiness seem to be constantly brimming my eyes. We received the call today from our social worker at 9:30am that Lithuania has chosen us to be Viktorija's family!  Praise be to God! I drove up to Broderick's work to tell him in person. Unfortunately he had to get on a conference call right away, so we haven't had a chance to really celebrate together.  We will be celebrating tonight!! The boys are excited too, well as excited as boys can get about this kind of stuff. Now we wait for more paperwork to be completed. They told us 2 to 4 weeks to get the "official referral."  Then we send our acceptance letter (and more money of course) and they will set up our court date. I just can't find the words..... I am so happy and I just can't wait to bring her home!

Over these last few weeks I have been so humbled and over whelmed by the number of people praying for us and our adoption journey! Word has spread (partially thanks to facebook) and so many have come up to us telling us how happy they are for us and that they are praying for us. It truly has been felt! I know that the rest of our journey will continue to be surrounded by prayer as well. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts! I look forward to sharing with all of you our journey in bringing Viktorija home!
