Thank you

The past couple days have been crazy.  Two days ago we opened the blog to public and posted a link on our Facebook accounts and the response has been amazing.  We have been overwhelmed by all the kind words, prayers, and support from everyone.  We are very grateful and blessed...thank you.

We did an exercise in our foster care/adoption class where we made a diagram of our "support structure." For Shabree and I there wasn't enough room on the page to put everyone on there, and many of you were listed.  That was not the case for all the participants, and even some of the teachers :)  I don't say that to be  rude or arrogant, I say it to proclaim how amazing our God is and how much he cares about relationship.  While we are so blessed and thankful to have so much support, we are also broken thinking about our prospective child and others around them with little or no support.  We have learned a lot in the last few weeks about early childhood development, attachment, and cycles of need, and at the heart of it is the need for relationship.  No wonder our Lord said it is not good for man to be alone.

We got a call this morning from our adoption agency about some paperwork. In the course of the conversation she brought up some twins that had come into the orphanage during the last few weeks. We have known about them for a little while but she gave us some more info today. They are twin girls and are just a few pounds. Because of their small size it is hard to get blood from them necessary for their medicals. It will take a few months to finish the medicals and then they will be available for adoption.  They are possible candidates.  She also mentioned a little boy that came in today too so we will see what God has in mind :)
