I can hardly believe it. But 10 minutes ago I got the phone I’ve been waiting for for so long time. She told me there was a little boy waiting for me in Etiophia. He is a 2 years and 3 months old. And his name is Tinsae. Tomorrow I’ll get some photos of him and papers that will tell me some more. She read a little for me over the phone and it seems like he’s a healthy boy with social skills. “Well build and strong”.
Since I was a little girl I have had the name ready for a boy (have no idea about what to call a girl, though, but who cares now?!) I want to name him after my grandfather on my mothers side, who was named Matteus (Matthew); I’ll twist it a little so it becomes Mathias (like how the hebrew wrote it). The name means A GIFT FROM GOD, and what other is this child!?!
From now my life will never be the same ever again, and I’m so happy 
How am I going to get anything done today?????!
Off course there is still the possibility for me to say: no thanks, and I shall think about it seriously while reading the medical rapport tomorrow, but to be honest there is about 99 % chance I say: YES please 
yay!!!!
oops. i was logged in as guest.
anyways. YAY again!
(and speaking from someone who was adopted when i was a baby… i absolutely love adoption.. and i hope to adopt kids in the future)
Oh wow!! That’s so wonderful, Anne! And I can’t think of a better mother for him!! I’m so, soooo happy for you!
WHOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!
And think - he is just about Elijah’s age!! We shall cover ground as mothers of toddlers and on together!
Praise God! Yay!!!
Thanks all of you!! You really makes my heart feel warm
I’m so happy about finally knowing age and name. But I was so disappointed picking up the mail today and not finding any letter about him. Now I have to wait until Monday - feels like so long!!
Tray: Adoption was a good solution for me. It has been a tuff ride, sometimes and taken a long time; but now it all feels so worth it!!!
Deb: Thanks for kind words
I so hope you are right!
Val: I also thought of Elijah, funny that they are so close in age
Big, big, big hugs from me
Woo Hoo! I’d offer to babysit for free if you didn’t live thousands of miles away.

Okay, that came out twice. I edited it because I thought that it sounded like if you lived close, I’d charge for babysitting (I wouldn’t, really) . . . lol! But, seriously, congrats!
Thanks Adrienne!!
Would have loved to had you closer
