Girls!!
Those sweet hands will be holding ours soon!
We have been holding this in for almost 6 weeks now! After we received our 171H letter in the mail last week-a huge wave of relief swept over me! We can now let the world know that we will be a mommy and daddy to two beautiful girls!
It was a hard road to get to this point. And it’s still a long road ahead of us. Right now, though, we are celebrating the gift God has given us in the hope that our daughters will be home with us soon. I was able to share the news with my family this weekend and finally show off their darling faces. I won’t be able to share pictures on social media until they come home for security reasons.
The girls are roughly 2 & 1 years old. Here on the blog we will call them baby G & baby M. Our hope is that they will be home by this time next year. I know that for many of you that seems like a long time, but the reasons behind it are necessary and important.
Right now here are our most important prayer requests:
- Pray for Baby G & M’s health and safety during the time they are in foster care
- Pray for a quick court process this summer so that we can become their legal guardians in Africa
- Pray that God will provide the remaining $20,000 for acceptance of this referral (we have a tax deductible way for you to give now…stay tuned for more info on Friday)
- Pray that Jason and I would continue to rest in the peace of God as we wait to unite our family
In Truth and Grace
