What an amazing day. We are so happy to share with you that today, we received a referral of a beautiful 6 month old baby boy! We were totally taken by surprise to get the call so soon! He is perfect in every way. The next couple of days will include lots of paperwork and a conference call with our agency as well as an international pediatrician, and then we wait some more. God has definitely been preparing our hearts for this little guy because we were instantly in love! This has been and continues to be an incredible journey and we are amazed at each new turn to see how God is working! This is a busy week for the Harpers! I think I made Beckett's day when I told him that we had decided that this was going to become a Spring Break week! I had spent the morning preparing for our yard sale by making phone calls to local newspapers and designing a flyer all to advertise and I was planning to begin Beckett's lessons after lunch. Well, that is about the time that we received the call. Needless to say, I quickly turned on the waterworks and became a bit scatterbrained, so it was clear that school would not be happening today. When we looked at all of the paper chasing and continued preparations for the yard sale that are on tap for the next few days, we decided that an impromptu Spring Break was in order! We will be doing school until the beginning of June, but that is OK....just one of the blessings of homeschooling!
I'll post more in the next few days after we receive a packet from AGCI with more info and we learn what the next few months will look like for us! Thanks for your continued prayers!
We have been blessed!

Congrats! I'm Mitzi and a part of the yahoo group, but don't really say much. However, I think we have mutual friends through Stewart Crane, as well as I think someone who goes to your church is my Mom's boss at a doctors office in LC.
Anyway, we are so excited to see you all move along so quickly! We are hoping to have our HS finalized this week and get on that waiting list! Can't wait to see you move through this process and see how God brings you to your son! WAHOO!
I have never commented before, but wanted to say congrats!!! I also homeschool our children.:)
What a great day!! We fell in love too! His dimples will fit right in! Ready to love on him!
Wow I had to scroll down SO far to leave a comment. We love him so much already. I don't know what I thought the feeling would be like when I saw his picture for the first time, but I thought he is absolutely beautiful (more than I could have imagined) and his smile is so contagious. You all are being blessed by this whole process but also this little boy is so lucky to become part of the Sean-Andi-Beckett-Helen family!!! Enjoy every moment of it!!
Wow! What a happy day for you guys!!! Congratulations!
Congratulations! I'm sure he's beautiful b/c every baby we saw was:)We're an AGCI family too, with our 8 month old son HOME. We plan to start homeschooling our kindergartener next year!
That short wait makes me want to start again:)
