Referral
Now that I can breath again and have told everyone I know and anyone who happened to be near me, I'm ready to share some details.
We got the call at about 12:20pm. We have a son. He's between 5 and 7 months old; the doctor disagrees with the birth date on his paperwork. He's from the Awassa region and as of 6/19/07 weighed 7450 grams (about 16.5 lbs) and was 67cm long (26.4 inches). We have reviewed all of his information with our good friend and pediatrician and have already accepted the referral.
He is absolutely adorable and we are completely over the moon! I'll post about getting the call tomorrow. I'm off to celebrate with my family!! I can't believe it, today is summer solstice... it's the season of change!

And I have to say, isn't it amazing what happens when we feel we are at our lowest.
Carrie, your son is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations! I have been following your blog because My husband and I also live in Alaska, and we received our referral for a baby boy from Ethiopia just two weeks ago. I am sure your family is over the moon, just as we are. Take care, and much love.
