We have a match!!

We had our match meeting!!!! I couldn't believe it until it happened! Friday morning at 10:00 we met our agency case worker and she introduced us to a beautiful little girl! Because of security and privacy we are not allowed to post pictures or her African name until after we pass court (probably in several months, sorry), but her name means "gift" and we are going to keep her name as her middle name and the name her American family is giving her is Maya! She is eight months old and beautiful! She has big bright eyes and big chubby cheeks! Her brothers have already been making up rhymes with her name and theirs. Everything looks really great and according to our doctor, is very healthy and developmentally right on target, even a little ahead! We know it is because she is being cared for and loved on so wonderfully! We are so very thankful and hope to find out a court date in the next few months. We will let everyone know when it is so you can all pray for that to go well! Thank you for your prayers through all of this, we know God is working through all of this and we can't wait to bring her home!
