Meet our little baby boy!

So, our pastor once said, "If you think God doesn't have a sense of humor, tell him your plan!" Ha!!!! We couldn't have said it better ourselves.... Baby Girl from China in 2010, becomes Baby Boy from Korea in 2007! As of yesterday evening, it is official...... he's ours....and now we wait for the Korea group to call us with more detailed info about what to do next... :) :) :)

For those of you that don't know, Randy & I were given a "referral" just under two weeks ago, of a preemie boy from Korea. He was born on April 22, 2007 and has been cared for by a foster family since birth. He could be home in two to four months! He will be brought to us by a sponsor from our agency, so no traveling on our part....Yes, our minds are racing, yes we are going nuts, and yes WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!!!!! He will still be...."Baby E"....more to come on the name later! Isn't he so adorable?!?!?!?!

Options

OK, so we have reached a new frustration level....China's latest data is that they only processed 4 days worth of referrals in the past month. (Referral=Baby) Believe it or not, China only processed 4 months worth of referrals in the past year. At that rate, we would be receiving our referral in 2010.
Our options are:
1. Change countries, which means the wait time begins from scratch!
2. Go domestic, which means we have to do pretty much everything all over, including all of the agency fees $$$$$.
3. Apply for the "Waiting Child Program" through our current agency- actually we applied for this about a week ago. These children are "special needs", but the severity is a very wide spectrum. The "special need" could be something as simple as a birthmark! We filled out a very detailed medical form of what we would accept or not accept. There are about 200 people in this program, and it can run simultaneously with our current referral. We listed about 8 countries that we would adopt from.
4. Continue the weekly acupuncture & herbs...I truly enjoy the wonderment of it all, but the taste of the herbs is YUCKY!!
5. Go back to Shady Grove and pursue IUI or IVF
6. And of course, wait, wait and wait for a baby girl from China in 2010....that's not a joke, it's really looking like it could be 2010!
I think we are going to go with options 3, 4 & 6.....although at this point, option 3 could be the most promising :)
