"Mind-bending" News

We received a very interesting call the other day… Our adoption coordinator from Kaz. called to let us know that there is a SIBLING PAIR of TODDLER BROTHERS ready to be adopted!!! We accepted the referral, needless to say, and hope to be traveling to Semey by the end of Dec.!!

We are just blown away by this. We had NO IDEA an opportunity like this would come along! We are just amazed by God's hand in all this!

Although we are not able to post pictures until the boys are legally our children, we can tell you that they are cuties! One has big, bright, blue eyes and one has big, brown eyes and both have such sweet litte faces!

Here is the basic schedule for the next several months:

1.Work on last pieces of paperwork.
2. Receive "Letter of Invitation" from Kaz. to visit, get visas and plane tickets.
3. Travel to Kaz., meet the boys, and get to know them for 2 weeks!
4. Request and attend the court date for permission to adopt the boys.
5. Endure the 2 week long waiting period that is required to allow family or whoever to contest the court's decision. EEEeeek! (We'll most likely come back home during that time.)
6. Travel back to Kaz to get the boys and their official paperwork.
7. Bring the boys home as our sons!!!


Thanks to everyone for your prayers and excitement during this whole process!!!!!
