Guess who called?

DHS CALLED ME BACK!! WOHOOO!!!

So today on my way into work I got a call from a blocked number. I truly contemplated if I should even answer since it was surely someone that I probably wouldn't necessarily want to hear from...  (telemarketer, etc).  But I did, and I am so glad that I did :)

It was DHS and we set up an appointment for Wednesday morning. I called their office (and left a message) late last week so I was quite curious why I hadn't received a phone call back. I remember at the conference I went to (the one that I went to w/out my husband, uh-huh) made reference to the fact that the Department isn't avoiding our phone calls on purpose as they generally just have more pressing issues to take care of. I easily understood and was going to wait a few more days before I bothered them again, but I didn't need to as today was our lucky day!

So how am I feeling?
Well I told Jeremiah as soon as I saw him that they called us to schedule an appointment and his answer was as nonchalant as if I asked him to take out the trash; "oh, ok, cool" (not that he would respond to taking out the trash that way, but you know what I mean).  Am I feeling so calm? Well I suppose I am, I am very excited though. I want to learn more about this process. It seems there are so many opinions about this journey, I am most desperate to just hear the facts straight from the source. EVERYONE seems to have a friend who has adopted through the state and they all seem to know how it's done, except it seems as though each story is slightly different... hmm...


I will let you all know how Wednesday goes. Really wish tomorrow was Wednesday but I suppose I can wait another day :)

G'night all.
Sarah

P.S. I caught Jeremiah reading a book about adoption the other night, it warmed my heart :) So thankful God has called us both to this exciting journey.
