Waitin' By the Phone

I remember when Joe was deployed, I took my phone with me everywhere! I did not want to miss his call. Day or night, my phone was right beside me. I would sometimes even just hold it and will it to ring, hoping he would be on the other end. Anytime the phone did ring, my heart started beating faster and I would get excited thinking it may be him. Sometimes it was, sometimes it wasn't. But no matter what, I was going to have that phone with me at all times!
Now, I'm waiting on a different call. The call from our agency that they want to show our profile to a birthmom. Or the call from our agency that they have a baby waiting for us. I get all my emails on my phone as well. So our agency could email us about a particular situation to see if we are interested. So each time I hear that beep, I get excited, my heart starts beating faster! Could this be the email? A few times, I have received an email from the agency and when I see who the email is from, I can't help but think, 'this could be it'. So far, they have only been informative emails - nothing about a possible adoption situation.
So, I keep waiting by the phone. It goes with me everywhere. I wait for the call. I wait for the email. It will come someday. I just hope it comes soon!
