"New" December 2012 Number!

Well, we just got home from a sweet trip to the BEACH for the New Year!  We had the most amazing time, and it was such a much needed get-away after the craziness (and sickness!) of the holiday season!  I am so thankful we were able to go, and I can't wait to share some of the cute pics!  And yes, our crazy crew got in the freezing cold ocean!!! :)  More to come on that soon...

On New Years's Eve right as we were about to leave for dinner, we got an email from M, our AGCI case worker with our official December waitlist number...

Yes, we are #5 (for the 4th month in a row!) again on the AGCI girl waitlist!

(By the way, I am running out of options for cute #5 pictures to post, so we really need to never post this number again! I had to look back and see which ones I had already used on previous posts!) :)

I probably would've burst into tears when I got the email had I not known that we are really (unofficially) #4!!!! :)  A lot of ya'll saw from our post below that we found out on Saturday that a family ahead of us on the waitlist got their referral for their baby girl!  We are SO EXCITED!!!

So, even though our official number is still #5, we know that we are really #4!!!  Our agency doesn't change the waitlist numbers until they receive all the referral paperwork from the family, so that is why our number hasn't changed yet!  Hope that all makes sense! :)

Thank ya'll so much for sharing in our joy of finally moving closer to our sweet girl!  We are thrilled, and can't wait to see what our number will be in January!   We are HOPING and PRAYING that 2013 will be the year we see our daughter's face!!!

I prayed this verse this morning as I was walking along the beach...

"In the morning, LORD, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly."
Psalm 5:3

You have been on my heart lately, Alison. I know this has been such a long wait. You truly have been so faithful through it all and that is such a testament to others of God's love for us, His children. Praying hard that the wait will be over soon. I can't wait to see sweet Caroline's cute little face.
