Many people dread this superstiscious day, but not us. Over the past two years it's brought us two of the four biggest blessings we've ever recieved.
Things have changed pretty quickly around here. On Wednesday we were told that the little girl we had been pursuing was no longer available. We were disappointed, but knew that God had other plans for us. Well, we didn't think those plans would reveal themselves so quickly. . .
Friday our social worker from when we adopted Max Rup posted an email to our forum about a little boy that she really wanted to find a home for. We poured over his information all weekend. He's almost 8 months younger than Max Rup, and this guy's grin can light up a room! We met with our Doc on Monday, and despite some unknowns we called Tami (our social worker again - yay!) and told her we were in.
His name is Probal. We'll call him Mason and keep Probal as his middle name. We are unable to post his picture until we go through some paperwork steps (sorry). Trust me - he's to die for!
Tami spoke to the amazing woman who runs ISRC (the childrens home in Kolkata). Anju was so happy that Probal is being adopted by Max Rup's family. Anju told Tami that it was "God's Blessing." We completely agree.
So, we learned about Max Rup on Friday April 13, 2007, and Mason Probal on Friday, February 13, 2009. Pretty Good.
Alright - back to paperwork - there will be plenty of that in the next few weeks.

Yay Kristy! How exciting! Hopefully I will get to meet him soon! I am THRILLED for you :). Happy paperchasing!
Yay, yay! Another ISRC baby! How amazing the way it has developed! Love, love, love the name (it was my number one choice for our 2nd but it's hubby's boss' son's name so I didn't get to use it!) Can't wait to follow along on your journey. 3 little boys- I bet they will have so much fun together!
I can attest to the fact that his eyes can melt you just as Max's continue to do with me (I could never say no to Max with his cuteness)! Think I'll want to steal this one from you too? :) So very happy and we can't wait!
Love,
