A different reason...

As we watch the blogs, comments, posts, etc in the world of adoption... I see many quotes, verses, tshirts describing peoples reasons for adopting. There's lots of talk about "rescuing the orphan" or "saving one"... and seriously... NO disrespect to those that feel that way, but....

For us it's different. If anyone is being 'rescued', its US. :-) WE are the lucky ones. We are being blessed with two beautiful lives. We aren't doing the "noble" thing by adopting 2 special needs children from a far off country... we are doing what we have to, to get OUR kiddos home.

A wise woman once told me. "your kids are your kids... whether through birth or adoption... you just have to find them" She was right. After trial and error and perfect timing... we have figured out where "our" kids are... and man, we can't get there fast enough! 

I'm SO incredibly honored that God gave us this route. That we are walking this path. That we have the privilege of welcoming two sweeties into our lives. Our life is about to change in a way only possible by God's hand. I'm seriously a basket case these days. Every quote, story, blog, picture, thought... it all brings me to tears daily. Good tears! Happy tears!

We are so excited... so excited you should be reading about that excitement for the next 4-5 months. Sorry if it gets repetitive. Thanks for following our adventure. Thanks for praying us through it. it's SO. INCREDIBLY. AWESOME.

THIS week, we hope to get an update on Emily Katherine AND get the final pieces of our Dossier to our agency so we can begin the big/final wait for LOA (letter of approval)

 With Love & Wonder,
Jenn & Rob
