Well, that's an answer to prayer! I know it's not THIS week like you would have liked, but it's an end in sight! A week from tomorrow! And then, Lord willing, life changes dramatically!!
Still very excited for you and your boys, and thankful you heard something today!
I am so happy and excited for you all! I can't imagine all that you are feeling...all of the thoughts running through your head. I can't wait to hear their visas are in hand and you are traveling to get them.
Praise God!! What a blessing to you all!! We are praying that all continues to go smoothly as you transition from a family of 5 to one of 7 together in the same house!!
Finally a date. The finish line is in sight! I can't believe how overwhelmed you are right now with all of the emotion. The kids must be so excited too to finally meet their brothers. Please continue to let us in on the journey!
Yahoooooo! Praising God....he'll finish what he started. So excited for you....I really believe it is a miracle when ANY child comes home via adoption.....a MIRACLE.
Awesome! So, when do you fly out to go see your kiddos and prepare to bring them HOME? I remember the excitement when our son came home from his birth country. There is nothing that compares to that type of excitement! :)
I am so happy to hear that the visa appt has been scheduled.... I will pray that goes without a hitch.... the boys have gotten so big and are so handsome!
This blog was created to chronicle our family's journey to adopt our fourth child, a little boy from Haiti. Long before knowing him, we chose his name: Ian, meaning "God is gracious." Along the way our journey grew to include not only one, but two little boys from Haiti!
Ian and Alec finally arrived home on January 19, 2010.
