Adoption Day

It has been forever, but it has been so hard to blog with two little ones running around.  It is also hard to blog when there is so much we can't share about our babies. That being said, we are just 3 days away from our adoption day.  On Friday, November 20 at 11:15 a.m. eastern time (15 months and one day from when little man came to live with us), we will officially become Daddy and Mommy.  We have been Daddy and Mommy to them for over a year now, but we are so thankful that we will finally be able to show them off and share them with all of you.  

November is National Adoption Month and we are thrilled to be adoption on National Adoption Day.  We will also be able to celebrate at our home church with two other families that went through all the foster care training with us and have adopted.  When we first starting looking into adoption, we thought for sure we wanted to adopt so we could have a baby.  We never dreamed that going through foster care, God would give us the baby we always dreamed of, and the added bonus of her big brother.  This has been a long journey, and many times very hard, but we wouldn't trade it for the world.  We have no doubt that God brought us to Vermont because our babies were (or would be) here.  Little man was born just months before we found our we were moving here.  When they called and asked us to take him, the condition was that we were to take little miss when she was born so they could keep the siblings together.  We are so thankful we did this.  They are two peas in a pod.  She looks up to her big brother and wants to do everything that he does.  

Thank you for all your love and support during this time.  We have felt all the prayers during that past 15 months.  In a few days, I will be able to share their pictures with you.
