Today is a big day.

Today is a big day. Today is the day we find out the status of our referral. We should know by the end of today when the ministry in Poland plans on releasing our referral document. It then goes to the National Adoption Center and finally to us. The ministry could take up to one month before they release the paper. Once we get it, it gets mailed to immigration. Lots of little steps happen after that. They almost all involve giving approval and writing letters to the next people who need them. 
This referral is the big thing... the analogy is that we have already signed our end of the contract saying we want these 4 kiddos, and we need Poland to sign saying we can have them. We are waiting for them to sign their end of the deal. 



What a glorious day that will be.

Here is a picture of future dad and Keller on a recent hike. I think they are pretty swell. Can't wait til that rock is filled with children!
