REQUEST UPDATE

Well, as all of you know, we have been pursuing adoption of an infant boy 0 to 6 months of age. What we have shared with a few of you, is that we also put in a request for siblings ~ twins, or a second sibling 2 yrs or younger. Our family coordinator was willing to let us put this as our request, as long as we understood the very LOW chance we had of getting siblings of such a young age.

With this understanding, we went ahead and put our heart's desire in our Application Letter, figuring we would let God have His way in our lives. One son, or two children. We know that we would be MORE than EXSTATIC, either way.

Well, as time ticks away and we continue to wait for our I-171H, we feel that one good thing that has come from our extra waiting period is this. We have decided to change our request by increasing the age range of our second child to 0 to 3 years old.

We are not sure if increasing one more year will make a difference in God's plan for our family, but we have been excited to think of the possibility of TWO children coming HOME. FOREVER! We go back and forth as to what to picture ~ will GOD bless us with one child? or two children? Although we are not sure what God is planning, we DO know this!


GOD ALREADY KNOW WHO HE PLANS TO BRING INTO OUR FAMILY! AND WE WILL BE BLESSED BEYOND OUR WILDEST DREAMS, EITHER WAY!


It is up to us to just follow His lead. That is what we feel we are doing. With such an EXCITEMENT, in fact, that it makes this waiting very HARD at times. We know that in the end, when we hold our child or our children in our arms, kiss his or their face/s, all this waiting will be MORE than worth it!!! {sigh........with a HUGE smile}
