A set of twins? boy and girl?
Well, we are continuing to keep busy as we wait for 'the' call from our agency for two little boys that are waiting for a home. We are praying and waiting to hear that two little boys are available to be adopted to us.
I had said to Diester last Monday evening~~"Wouldn't in be something if we got a call from our adoption agency tomorrow?" just hoping and speculating~~ Well, we did get a call from our adoption agency the next day, and our case manager had a question for us. The question of the day was: "There is a set of twins, a boy and girl that were born in July 2007, that are available for adoption, and our connection in Krasnoyarsk wanted me (the case mgr.) to verally call you and ask if you and Mark were interested in them. Would you be interested in this set of twins?" She went on to explain that we would be required to update our homestudy, and also resubmit our CIS (customs and immigration services)paperwork. Well, Diester was not home at the time, so I asked her if I could call her back. So, I got off of the phone and the girls and I started praying that we would do God's will. So, then the emotional roller coaster started for me. Wouldn't it be sweet to have a boy and girl? Twins at that? How would the sleeping arrangement work in our house? etc. etc. etc. Well, Diester got home, and was working out in the garage. I just couldn't stand it any longer (waiting for Diester to come in), so I went out in the freezing cold and explained the situation to him. Men handle things so much differently than women. He looks at me, and says, tell her no, we want boys. So much for my excitement of the possibilities. As I write this, please know that I actually had much peace when he told me that, and I am thankful that I have a decisive husband. I would have forever been wondering if we should have waited for two boys. God is good! That's the latest update~~God did hear me when I said 'wouldn't it be something if we got a call from our adoption agency'. The call that we got was confirmation that our paperwork is definitely in Krasnoyarsk. They know we exist, and they know we are looking for 2 boys. What a blessing~~YEA! It is still going to be until after the first of the year when we hear from them is what our case manager said, which is okay. The roller coaster ride was over after a short time, but there is peace knowing we are still waiting for 2 little boys, and there is another family that will be thankful that we declined this offer. BIG SMILE! ! !
