We Have a REFERRAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I pretty much can't believe it myself.  From the news that I received on Tuesday, I pretty much had lost hope that it was going to happen this year.

So how did this happen you ask?  GOD!  There really is no other explanation.  We were 4th???  The probability of locking an under 24mo. girl with a minor medical condition was virtually impossible???

On Thursday, May 26th, I had just sent our updated homestudy off and had a little yellow sticky note saying there would be changes made to our profile.  Meaning we were willing to up our age to four and were considering other medical issues, but God knew my heart was for under 24mo. and knew that we weren't going to have to change a thing.

On Friday morning, at 10am I received THE CALL from Judy Urquhart(our social worker).  I assumed she was calling to schedule a meeting about our homestudy, but instead she said " I have a child proposal for you"!!!!!  WHAT??? After that moment I am not exactly sure what she said other than she is 22months old, her Bday is July 14, 2009 and she is beautiful.  Then I received the email of our girl with four pics of her and a lot of info.  Her name in Chinese is Huang Fu Ge:  Huang is the first Chinese character of Huangshi city(where she was found), Fu is the first Chinese character of the welfare institute that she is in, and Ge are you ready for this means: PRINCESS, that is the hope for her to live life like a princess! (It actually said this) So Keely's room is painted the color Princess Keely and I planned on using part of her Chinese name as her middle name.  So her name is Keely FuGe so she actually has princess in her name!

When we first started this process I prayed and really wanted God to give me one of those stories that was way too coincidental and to give me something that so I would know that this was HIS doing, and that He definitely did!

I will answer them before they even call to me.  While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers! Isaiah 65:24

Then we had to have her file looked at by a medical Dr.  Her only medical condition if you can even call it that is, her right leg is slightly shorter than the left because of muscle or ligaments in her knee????????  Are you kidding me!!  Another testament of how awesome God is, she basically is a healthy smart little girl, who is already walking and going up stairs so her little right let isn't slowing her down at all.  In the future she may or may not require a minor surgery to release the tension in her knee, but other than that everything is great. The Dr. did say that an Orthopedic surgeon would have to really assess her info. to say for sure what she may need done.  Ok, so who lives with and is a Nanny for an Orthopedic surgeon in Montreal???  Cassidy!!  Another God moment!!  So she asked him if he would look at her file and he did, and basically said if she were to require a surgery it would be very minor!

Is anyone seeing yet how much she was meant to be our daughter???

So when you ask will we be bringing her home?  Three months at the earliest and five months at the latest.  So our Keely will have a family this Christmas and she will only celebrate one more birthday without her family. CHINA HERE WE COME!

Thank you all for all of the support and please continue to pray for the rest of the process, our girl in China and for the funds we need to bring her home.
Pics and a video to follow soon, you won't believe how precious she is!
