Our Children Have Arrived

On Feb. 5th, we were blest with 4 more children. They wanted to change their names so we are using the new names on this blog. Melissa is 8 years old and in the 2nd grade. Katie is our special needs daughter and she is 6 years old. Jacob is 5 years old and in Kindergarten and Joshua is 4 years old and doing preschool at home.
We are all very busy adjusting and bonding with one another. We see progress each day and know that people are praying for us.

Trusting in God's Grace which is sufficient.

We Are Expecting!!

Last Monday, we got a call wanting to know if we would like to be foster/adoptive parents to 4 children. After looking at the profile and talking with our caseworker, we decided to get more information. By the end of the day, Jeff and I knew that we had conceived again. Now I realize that this might sound strange to some of you, but this is how we look at each new member being added to our family. It doesn't matter to us if it is actually conception or us accepting. I talked with the children's caseworker on and off last week. A couple of days, I had to put my feet up and rest because there were some minor complications. However by Friday evening, we got the approval to go see our new children. We met them and immediately fell in love with them. I almost cried when we had to leave Chuck E Cheese. We have missed them this week and were looking forward to Friday so we could see them again. However, today we found out that we have a scheduled delivery date for TOMORROW!! I am rushing around nesting and I am sure that Jeff and I will not sleep tonight. We are very excited!! We are also amazed at how abundantly God has blest us. As of tomorrow, we will have 7 children. Only God could arrange this event. Less than 3 years ago, we only had ONE child and was praying that God would multiply us and increase our territory. HE has done exceedingly more than we could have imagined. Please pray for us as we all go through this time of adjustment and bonding.
