Accepted Referral! - Update/heartbreak

We received some terrible news today. The son & daughter we thought we'd be having have been taken away. An aunt of theirs has come forward and wants to adopt them. Even though the children have been in an orphanage for 2-2 1/2 years and the parental rights were terminated, she gets first rights.

We pray a new door will open to us soon.

By the Grace of God, it has happened,Jeff & I are going to be parents!

We officially accepted a referal of a brother and sister to adopt. I'm not listing names yet because we may change them. However, our son-to-be is 10 (as of 6/29) and our daughter-to-be will be 5 on September 14.

The joy we are feeling is beyond words. I guess the excitement is really about to begin!

Please visit often, as we learn more about our traveling itinerary we'll update the site and when we're there we'll add pictures.
