I'm elated, freaked out, giddy.... what else? Christi & I received our 1st Call today. Translated, it means that we've been matched with a child and are looking at a travel date of May 28 or early June. It was almost surreal. Christi rang me, told me to sit down and gave me a phone number to conference in. We should get information on our child within a week or two. Lots to do now... power of attorney since Christi can't travel, we have to choose a NAME (yikes, we've been battling over this), and visa stuff. Wooohooooo!!!!!!

Thomas Francis Corbett Paul Ingoldsby I
Posted by: corbett at April 6, 2004 05:46 AMThose are pretty regal names. How about Cracky Ingoldsby?
Posted by: Christofu at April 6, 2004 12:22 PMWell, we have Austin & Audrey. Maybe pick something that will sound good together since you will have TWO children very soon just like us!
Also, how old will the baby girl be when you bring her home?
Posted by: joni caldwell-couch at April 7, 2004 09:56 AMYep, we're trying to think of the names together so they don't clash. Also have to make sure that the names work with "Ingoldsby." Can't tell you how long it would take me to write Christopher Ingoldsby when I was little.
"Adopted Baby" or Baby A, will probably be between 8 and 14 months. We should know all the "stats" in about a week. ~Chris
