Mystery Family Discovered -We're Back to #9

I rarely check my home voicemail. Most of the messages on there are from people trying to sell something. So, today I did my first voicemail check in at least 2 weeks time and received a sweet voice mail from a lady named Heidi Garner. Heidi lives in Nashville, TN with her husband and, I think, 4 bio-children. She is adopting from Ethiopia and has been following this blog for a long time. She was calling to "confess" (as she put it) that she is in line ahead of us for an infant girl. In the voice mail she kept apologizing for this saying that she is not on the YG or any other group/list to be accounted for. Poor thing! So I called her back today and she was so sweet and apologized again saying that she feels like she's "cutting in line" even though she's been DTE since May 2. I told her not to worry about it and it's no big deal. We had a great conversation and she sounds like an awesome woman/mom. I told her that it's way better to know now that she is ahead of us so we can account for it and not be surprised later. But either way, the truth is, God has already ordained who Lulu is for our family and no number in line can change that. This is not a surprise to the One in control of it all.  

Garners - you are now either number 2 or 3 in the "girl only" line depending on when your log in date was.  And we are now number 9 in the "girl only" line. We always knew there was a chance for "mystery families" to exist in this line. So - if you are reading this blog and you are another mystery family - it's time to "confess" as Heidi put it. Ha ha! You can email me at: info@billyfoote.com or be brave enough to call at: 210.481.6776. I'll have to check my voice mail more often to see if any of you step forward. I promise I won't bite!
