Default I'm a MAMA!!!!

Dan actually received the call at work this morning. They tried calling me at home but I was at my mom's house and they forgot the cell phone number! Dan called my mom's house and greeted me with our son's name! His name is Juan Sebastion! He is from Bogota, but that's all we know right now. It works out that we actually aren't supposed to know anything yet, but the agency rep in Colombia had been nagging them so bad that they called and left a message on her machine with his name. We should get the written information by WEdnesday at the latest and a picture by Friday or Monday!
I'm in shock right now, it just doesn't feel real.. I'm a MAMA!!!!!!!

Thank you all so much! I'm SOOO happy right now!!

We had a message waiting for us when we got home from picking Dan up from work tonight. They were able to find out that Juan's birthday is October 2, 2003. So we have an almost 1 year old! We won't be able to quite make it down there by his birthday, visa regulations and such, but we should be there a few days later and plan to throw him a party at our "entrega" which is the day we meet him and celebrate with the orphanage workers
In case anyone is confused, Juan Sebastion is his birth name, we are changing his first name to Samuel, there is some debate as yet to what his middle name will be. We would like to keep part or all of his birth name, if it was actually given to him by his birth mother, we should hopefully know that tomorrow.
