The Thursday before Mother's Day!

Hello there~~just a note to say that these posts are for the purpose of showing the boys someday how God's hand was in all of this all along the way, and to give God the glory.  We are called to trust in him, and even in the hard times, to know that He loves us despite our circumstances.

As you know, we have accepted the referrals for these 2 little guys currently in an orphanage in Russia.  We have dates to go meet them~~YEA! ! ! 

This is one story of God's timing in our adoption process.  It was the Thursday before Mother's Day 2 years ago that we decided to adopt.  (Diester finally agreed to it. ~~hehe)  So, we got all the paperwork together, sent it to Russia, and it was translated as of May of last year, about one year after we started the whole process.  We waited another year to hear something, then on the Thursday before Mother's Day of this year, we got the referrals for these 2 little guys, sent them off to the Dr., she reviewed them and got back to us that evening.  We talked about it, and even though we agreed to find out why the mother's rights had been terminated, we both knew there was nothing that would deter us from taking these 2 boys.  We believe they are the ones for us.  We asked the Lord for healthy little guys that were close in age, and He answered our prayers, and on a most timely of days.  God's timing is always perfect, even if it hadn't been on the Thursday before Mother's Day, but I do see this as kind of special!  Praise God from whom all good things flow. 

Counting down the days until we travel~~please keep us and the girls in your prayers!  Thank you!
