An Exciting Development

We received a call from Angel Adoption that there was a birth mother who would like to talk with us!!!  I wanted to cry right then and there but needed to quickly pull it together so I could pay attention to the details she was excitedly trying to tell me.  This mother, Allysa, is due with a girl, on December 29.  She had been matched with another couple, but they had only wanted a boy, so when they found out that she was having a girl, chose to back out.  Allysa, had been sent our profile on July 23, with a few others and still had our profile.  She called Angel Adoption today and asked if we were still available!  What timing!!  So... we have a phone interview with her tomorrow evening around 6:30 and we'll see where God leads from there.  Allysa, has two other children, boys, and is without a job.  Again, we are faced with the issue of where and who is the birth father, but will deal with that as it comes.  She is from Louisiana so we will still get to travel a bit to go if this should all work out.  There is also the possibility, depending on how the phone interview goes tomorrow evening, that she may want to meet with us before the baby is born.  Thankfully Skeeter gets 4 weeks of vacation with his adoption benefits so hopefully if we need to go to LA, twice, that we can use part of that time for those trips.

Another HUGE praise, is that we received our letter from the Georgia attorney giving us the details of our refund.  We knew that part of the fee was unrefundable and then 1/3 of the rest would be as well.  However, in God's graciousness, she chose not to keep the extra 1/3 even though she had done some of the paperwork.  Now we just need to pray that if this new development comes through, that we will get our refund processed quickly as it was credited back to our credit card that was cancelled.  However, Discover said that it would transfer over to the new account, but that it could take 7-14 business days to do it.

We would appreciate prayers for all of us involved as we talk on the phone together tomorrow evening that we will say what we are to say, ask what we are to ask, etc.  God is faithful, and I know this might not work out either, but its kinda hard not to be excited and just enjoy this hopefulness!! :)
