In the adoption community there is a certain phone call that we all wait for. Some of us, for years. We simply refer to it as “the call.” Everyone who has ever waited or continues to wait knows what I’m talking about. It is the phone call that you ache for, wish for, pray for, dream about and wonder if it will ever come. It is the phone call from the adoption agency saying; “it’s time.” It is the call announcing travel approval to finally bring your child home. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve received “the call” during the last few years, only to wake up in the morning to realize that it was just a dream.We received “the call” today. In a moment, our lives changed forever. Honour’s coming home. She’s really coming home. When we wake up tomorrow, we won’t be waking up from a dream this time. Our little girl is coming home.
Thank you for standing with us, praying with us, and believing for us when we struggled to believe anymore. We have friends who are still waiting. Please remember them and their little ones who still wait for home.
