Brad and I find ourselves answering that way a lot lately. We love that so many people care enough to ask us about our adoption and it seems that we have been getting asked if we got "the call" yet. I think its funny when people ask because its like they think we are keeping it a secret or something. Trust me you will know when we do!! Many friends and family are asking why we haven't heard anything yet, the only real reason we know is because God isn't ready for us to know yet. We also know that AWAA is waiting on some paper work to arrive, but we know that as soon as God is ready for it to appear, it will. That's the best part of having faith, knowing God will provide in HIS time.
So for now we get to keep answering, "No, not yet..." with a smile!!
I also really have been enjoying everyone answering their phones right away or calling back right away. My sister is terrible about answering her phone, but she sure has been better these last few months. Ever since we got the "on deck" email, people have been quick to answer phone calls from us. For the first two weeks my parents and a couple of my good friends would answer with "Do you have good news?" or "I hope you are calling as a mama!" After a couple weeks of disappointing them, I told them that I will be sure to start my conversation with the good news when we get it. For now, I will continue to enjoy the quick return calls!!
Tara - I have been following your blog for about two months now. I think about you and your husband daily and how there is at least one very lucky child out there waiting to come home! I pray God's timeline is a quick one! :)
