While the voice on the line did sound familiar, I got chills the instant she said who it was and I new at that second that what I was about to hear could only be good. Since I had the cordless phone I ran up to our walk in robe where Tony was, head down bum up looking for shoes, and I think he knew instantly too when I smacked him on the butt to get him to look at me and the expression on my face. All I needed to say was who was on the line and he started the celebration.
I was given the option of 2 panel hearing dates - the 8th of feb and the 22nd. I think that we have waited long enough so I had no hesitation in saying that we would be at the first date. Everything else she said was a little fuzzy as I came to realise that we would be travelling at the end of the week (providing that flights and accomodation could be secured). The next few hours was a bit of a blur as what seemed to be endless phone calls and multitasking (2 mobile phones, the land line and the internet was used to spread the joy.) Our travel party were all stunned with the news as it was quite unexpected.
In one afternoon our world has changed for ever and we can hardly wait for the next few days to pass. I bet it will feel like no time at all until we board that plane to go get our dream boy.
