God never stops amazing me!! We were told a few months ago that our adoption program had slowed down and that we could be waiting a year or two before we would be matched with a child. We started praying about what to do because with us going into the missions field we didn't know if the timing would work out. In a few years we would still be in Costa Rica in language school and going to Africa to get our child would not be an option. So we were confused and sad..not knowing what to do..
Well God keeps showing me OVER and OVER..lol to not loss faith so quickly....
To our surprise........last Thursday we got the phone call we have been waiting for!!!!!!!!!
They shared with us that we have been matched with not one but TWO beautiful little girls!!!!!! They asked if we would be willing to welcome them both into our home...we of course..said YES!! All the information that could give us were they are sisters. One is 6. The other 6 months. That was it. Phone call over...
I cried the whole day with joy! Every time I thought about them tears would fill my eyes. I have waited (not so patiently.lol) to see their little faces. They told me Monday or Tuesday but no phone call or email. I wanted so badly to see who we would we be calling our daughters.
Well...today we got the phone call..."do you want to see your girls?"
OF COURSE!!
So they sent the email over right away...
I gathered Brandon and all the boys (and my mom.. she had to video the whole thing for us) and we sat around the computer busting with excitement!!
We opened the email..
First we looked at Justine..the baby...
I remember Malichi's reaction the most..he says "WOW..Justine is soooo cute!"
Next we looked at Victoria..
She is soooo precious!!
All I could do is cry and cry!! They are both soooo BEAUTIFUL!!!
Your wondering about the names..no we did not come up with them..these are their birth given names. As of right now, we will not be changing them..
The next steps to bring them home is full of legal stuff and paperwork..please be in prayer that everything moves smoothly and quickly. They are thinking we will be able to go the Africa in Septmeber-October to bring them home!! Pray! Pray! Pray!
Lastly, since we will be welcoming two children into our family instead of one the cost in much more than we expected. Almost double. So please if you want to help us bring the girls home just click on donate on our blog and the funds go directly to bring the girls home!!
Thanks!! Love you all!!
We will try our best to keep you updated as we learn more!
