Kansas!!! Our adoption agency is based in Kansas... Oh boy.... my heart literally quit beating for a moment and then went into turbo speed... could this be it? Could this be the call we had been hoping for?
I got out of my chair and walked over to the window --- I was on the lower level of our house and I wanted the best reception possible. I knew that would be especially important given the state of the weather = The sky was the creepy gray/green color that comes right before a huge storm, the wind was getting vicious, and I knew within minutes it would be torrentially downpouring.... Yep, that was starting to happen at the exact same time that someone from Kansas was calling my phone.
I stood by the window and answered the call. I heard something like this:
"Hi, is this Kristen? This is Brighid from American Adoptions. I'm calling to present you with a match!"
And there they were... the words that confirmed this really was the call we had been waiting for!!!
Aside from the fact that the wind got so nasty it took out trees and caused crazy damage in our area, and aside from the fact that the pouring rain started hitting our front window in just the right way that the weak seal didn't hold and water started pouring into the window and down onto my carpet, and aside from the fact that I was holding the phone with one hand (still intently listening to the match information) while running to the bathroom to grab towels with the other hand and then back to the window and then back to the bathroom and then back to the window, etc.... aside from all that, this was one of my favorite moments EVER!!!
