The Children Have Spoken

So the other day, our kids said they had something to tell us. 

"By all means...go ahead and say it," we said.

They said:



We weren't sure we had heard them correctly.

"Um, kids?...Could you say that again, please? Maybe a little more slowly?"





"Yep...that's what we thought you said." 

How could we refuse those faces??

"Alright, kids...we'll start the adoption process again. But only because you are all so persuasive."


*****


In all seriousness, we would so appreciate your prayers as we do begin the adoption process once again!

If God would allow us to give a home to another precious child, then we will praise Him.

And if He doesn't, then we will still praise Him. We are excited to see what He has planned for us.

(Look for a post soon about WHY we are choosing to adopt. It isn't really because our kids are begging for another sibling.) :)


Adoption paperwork round three...here we come!
