We accepted a referral

A week ago Wednesday our director called stating that she had 3 little boys that she wanted to send us video on. Of course Timmy & I could not believe it, we thought it would be at least another month or longer before this would happen. She said that we should get them by Friday, the next 2 days seemed like forever. The videos did not come, disappointment. Then spoke with Sue again Friday afternoon, Sue asked that we look at the viewing list. We took the next few hours to just pray that God would lead us to make the right decision & we are very confident that he did. Sue called us late that afternoon. We told her that we wanted to accept a referral on a little boy who is believed to be about 3 years old, he had the sweetest face & the most beautiful smile. His big brown eyes just called out to us. In our hearts he is ours!!!! We are completely overjoyed. What was amazing is that my brother, his wife and their kids were in route to KY from Indiana and we had already planned to have a big cook out at our house that Saturday evening. We received Cooper's video the morning of our family get together. Timmy & I decided to wait and watch the video with my family. Needless to say it was amazing. We laughed, we cried, we are all already in love with him and are counting down the days until he gets here. What is even more amazing is that my mom always works on Saturdays until at least 10 or 11 but was only scheduled until 4 that day therefore she was with us when we watched the video as well. God is good!!!!! Please pray for Cooper, please pray for his birth mother that had to give up her sweet baby boy. Please pray that we will get submitted to court asap and will pass court the first time.
