I found an agency!!!!

Two months ago I applied to an agency that is located here in Utah. I was told that it would be a 2-3 year wait and that I may want to consider another country or consider adopting a child 6 or older from China. I expressed by e-mail that my heart was really drawn towards China and I asked if I could just put an application on file because I didn’t want to start for 1.5-2 yrs. Well, I got an e-mail from thisagency yesterday saying that the singles that were in line ahead of me for one reason or another couldn’t take the spot and wanted to know if I wanted it. I was shocked 2-3 years suddenly turned into a 2 month wait. It took me a few hours to e-mail back. I was shocked…how could this be. I let a spot pass me by last week and then not more than a week later I get a call for another spot. Most people are on waiting lists for months, sometimes even a year. I don’t always believe in signs, but if there is such a thing than this was a big one for me. I have to take the spot. Suddenly nothing else matters. The timing doesn’t matter, the money doesn’t matter, the only thing that matters is that I do this and that I do it now. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that there is a baby for me and she is ready for me to prepare for her homecoming.
