Referral Day

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

 * WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 67 *After days of speculating when we’ll get the phone call the day is finally here. We got an email from GWCA letting us know that the Stork has arrived. Being the workaholic that I am; Ha Ha, I sat patiently waiting for the call then I had to leave my desk to go to the Main Campus to meet with a contractor. When I was done and driving back my cell phone rang and there was a number I didn’t recognize on the caller ID. When I answered the phone I knew it GWCA calling about the referral. Now I’ll usually drive and talk on the phone because I’m very talented, but this time I pulled over into the middle of the road because I didn’t want to miss anything. They told me that they tried both of Becky’s phones and she didn’t pick up so they called me. I got the information about Fu Chuan Ke (the name of our new daughter) and we laughed about my concern that I’m going to get an ugly child. Emily reassured me that Fu Chuan Ke was a beautiful child. I must admit when Emily was describing Chuan Ke as having full lips and big round eyes the images that I imagined in my head were not that pretty. I called Becky as soon as I got off the phone with GWCA and told her the news. I think she was in shock. She was a bit disappointed that she missed the call but was glad part of the waiting was over. I rushed back to my office where I was waiting rather impatiently for the photos. I have to admit I cheated and looked at the pictures before I sent them to Becky, but I had trouble with the attachment so I saw the photo anyway. Chuan Ke is BEAUTIFUL!!! She’s perfect in every way. When I saw the photos of Chuan Ke I was in tears I was so happy. First of all the wait and journey was almost over and second the child is so Beautiful. We couldn’t ask for a prettier child. Becky was still in shock even when she saw the photos. Becky called her parents and sister and I called my parents. Becky’s parents were so excited to see the pictures of their first Grand Child they rushed over to the house giving us only enough time to print out a few copies of the photos for them. Once Becky’s parents left we lit off another 1000 firecrackers to celebrate. Our neighbors came out, probably to see what all the racket was but quickly learned that we got pictures of our future daughter. They knew the excitement we were going through since both of their children were adopted. That was a Great day. Oh, let me gush I have a BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER!!!
