We got our referral call on Friday, November 7th - that's 5 weeks ago!! This part of the experience is nothing like I imagined or hoped it would be but here we are and...
WE HAVE A SON!!!
To make a long story short (and I will post the long version soon), our little guy has had some struggles and we needed an extra medical test done. That took for-ev-er. But with that done and lots of prayer and lots and lots of waiting, we can joyfully introduce you to
Cole Debjit Drinkard
