For one year we have loved this child

Exactly one year ago today, we got the phone call that we had waited on for over 2 years.  The referral call from our agency matching us with the precious little one that would soon become part of our family.  We did not know what age or even a boy or a girl.  When we initially got the call, both Greg and I were at work and missed it.  I checked my phone after work to hear a message from our agency telling us that she had something to talk to us about.  When I called her back no one answered the phone.  This could not be happening.  It was almost time for the agency to close for the day and I just could not stand to wait overnight to hear about our new little one.  Finally on my drive home, our adoption agency called me back and told me that we had a referral (or match) with a 4 month old baby boy!!!!  When I arrived home, I told the family the good news.  I then checked my email and saw his sweet picture for the first time and fell in love with our Bejigo Hoying!!!!
