Adoption Day!

We waited a long time for today; it’s been over 10 long years. There were times when we gave up. And then, God would bring them back. There’s a story to tell…another day.

Today, I want to share with you the joy of our adoption.

They were so excited...waiting to go in and get this thing over with!

 

"Miss Cathy" our very dear friend...thank you for being there for us!

 

"MIss Elaina"....God placed you here for a reason...to bring these children home, no matter the cost to you. Forever we are grateful!

 

Taking pictures helped with the waiting!

 

The "A" Team!

 

Standing before the Judge, waiting to start! (Comical Moment: Our son lets the judge know he is matching today!)

 

Swearing In!

 

Attorney explaining to the judge why we are asking to adopt...almost there!

 

This is the point where I lose it... Cathy and Elaina cry along with me!

 

Thank you, Cathy, for capturing the moment!

 

And it's official!

 

While they pick out gifts from the judge...

 

The adults can't help but smile!

 

What a glorious day!

 

They're smiling...because "no one can ever take them away from us again"

 

It is with the deepest, heartfelt gratitude, that we thank you all. Thank you for praying for us throughout the years. For holding us when we lost them again and again…and for rejoicing with us each time we got them back. I can’t imagine going through this without our “prayer warriors.”

For those of you who share “Thankful Thursday” with me…this is mine! (I love you, sisters!)

It’s sinking in…it’s real…I guess we’d better figure out how to add some more rooms to this house!

Romans 12:12

Rejoice in Hope

Be Patient in Tribulation

Be Faithful in Prayer

    The most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a long time. God has been so good and y’all have been so faithful in following His lead.

    So happy for all of you.
