Let's Wait a Little Longer:)
As you all know, we went on deck two weeks ago and had to finalize our request. After much prayer and counsel, we both felt that instead of one OR two, we should wait for two:) Surprise:) For us also. For those of you who really know my personality, patience is not my strong suit. Who would have thought that the day we went #1 for infant boy, God would tell us to wait:) And that I would have such a peace about it:) Caitlin, our adoption coordinator, told us that if the wait got too long, we could always change it back to one, and we would be at the front of the list, so right now, we don't know FOR SURE if it will be two, we just know God is calling us to wait a bit longer. We could get a call any day, or it could be several months. They also emailed and asked if we would be willing to get two unrelated children. Our home study just HAPPENS to say we could accept two children (it's usually worded "two siblings") ages 0-4. So... we didn't have to change anything to change our request. We officially changed our request to two children, siblings or unrelated, 0-12 months and 0-4 years, with at least one girl. We'll have to get a new van now, we can't even hold that many. I'm still a little in shock, I always thought I'd have one child, now I'm so excited to think I could have SIX children, wow, it sounds like a lot when you type that, is that right?? :) Seriously though, we are so excited to think about God blessing us with two, just please pray my patience holds out. Even if we got a referral this week, it looks like our first court date wouldn't be until at least January, then it would be Feb or March before we would bring the children home. So exciting!!

Since we'll be gone over Springbreak, let's hope they don't come then!

Not nearly as exciting as we are for you guys! I can't imagine having pictures of your children to look at!! Are you guys getting the room and all the STUFF ready?? We got rid of all our baby stuff already, so we have to start all over, but we have a lot of friends that are ready to help as soon as we know the age/gender of the kids:)
