Great News!!!!! Praise God

Yesterday, August 26, 2009 we received a referral for TWO children. Yeah!!!!!!!! So, apparently it WAS God's plan all along for us to adopt two. Even if it took longer than I would have liked and even when I started to doubt if we were in step with God. The waiting is the hardest part.

Our referral was for an 11 mo. old girl and a 2 yr. old boy. They are precious and we accepted the referral today. We are on cloud nine.

Courts are closed right now so we won't be given a court date until they reopen in October. We are praying that we will get a quick court date and be able to travel to bring them home by late October or early November. But, it could be further out than that. Again we wait.

We are unable to post photos of the children until we pass court and they are officially ours. But take our word, they are TOO CUTE.

God has orchestrated everything perfectly as usual.

Please pray for us as we gather the remaining funds needed to pay the agency/country fees, the humanitarian aid money and any travel expenses.

Our babies will be home soon!

God is SOOOOO good.
