Katie, Tim & Cale Nester...

...would love it if you would follow along as we record our adoption journey. We feel blessed to be called to adopt a son from Ethiopia!
About our journey:
- We requested "either" gender, 0-18 months.
- We received our referral of Megersa on Nov 5, 2009; he was 2 months old.
- Megersa's name is pronounced "Meh-gur-sah."
- Our case was submitted on Dec 18, 2009 and our court date was Jan 27, 2010. We were fortunate to pass court on the first try!
- Tim's mom and I left for Ethiopia on March 8, 2010 for an Embassy appointment of March 10, 2010. We passed!
- Megersa met the rest of his family in the US 3.13.10.
- When we re-adopt him, his full legal name will be Megersa Jace Nester.

lucky number 7


tomorrow marks our 7 month wait. it's gotta be this month, right? LUCKY NUMBER 7?!
i've gotta say...i'm nervous about posting my update.
it feels like when i post about moving UP the list, something quickly happens, and i move DOWN the list.
so, i wont say anything. but you can guess.
you want to? okay!
do i have good news?
yes.
did i get a referral?
no.
have ANY infant/toddler boy referrals gone out?
perhaps.
how many? one?
um.
two?
maybe.... :)
so what number am i now?
you'll have to figure it out for yourself judging by my past posts.
i don't want to jinx myself!

i was told that i was "right at the top of the list." that does not mean i am next of course, but i was told we should be getting our referral in october!
i'm praying for a great birthday present for tim (oct. 12), or at least not to have to call in for an 8 month check.
join me, wont you?
