It is a malenke malchick!!!

We are proud to announce that we are soon to be the proud new parents of a very tiny little boy. He was born Spetmeber 8th 2006 and he is absolutly adorable. He was the second child they brought in and we both knew the second we saw him. We both held him and he laughed and hopped around and just kept looking at us. We played with him until they took him away. They brought in two more children that were each two years old. While they were adorable they just did not feel right.

After meeting him our hearts were so happy knowing that it was so easy to meet the right child and just know. Then we got to hop on the emotional roller coaster. As we were rejoycing the social worker made a few phone calls and then it was announced that this boy would not be availible until May 9th. Our hearts crashed as we did not understand what this meant. We were then told that while she filed the paperwork more than 6 months ago they did not file it right away in the capitol. So we made a very difficult choice which is to start unofficial visitation on Monday until May 9th. We will not be able to start our official visitation until May 9th and court will be a few weeks after this.

We have said from the beginning that we would do what we felt was right not what was easy. When John and I got married we vowed (for some very bizzare reason) to always keep our lives adventures. Right now we have many details to work out this weekend to figure out our extended stay.

We are sad that we can not visit him until Monday but the baby house does not have heat in the room we will use for visitations. This should be fixed by Monday. We love hearig from all of you.
