We have a referral and we've accepted!

We officially accepted a referral to adopt precious siblings! We cannot share their names yet or show pictures, but I can tell you that Caroline and Will are going to have a new brother AND sister. Our soon to be new son who we will call "S" is 5 and our soon to be new daughter we will call "R" is 4. Yes, you heard that right! FOUR kiddos! We will have two 4 year olds, a 5 year old, and a 7 year old.

Our next steps are we are waiting for our attorney to prepare an affidavit, he'll send that to us where we will then prepare a dossier, and then it is submitted to court. After that, we wait for our court date. We could have very little time between when we are notified of our court date and when we actually travel. Once we get our court date we will travel and we will be in U*anda for about 6-8 weeks with the whole fam!

Right now we are asking God to get us into court before courts close for the holidays. We would love to all be together as a family during the holidays.

It's here people! The journey is only beginning!

I read this last night and love it:
"Adoption is not just about couples who want children-or who want more children. Adoption is about an entire culture within our churches, a culture that sees adoption as part of the Great Commission mandate and as a sign of the gospel itself."
Russell Moore "Adopted for Life"
