Today was the day we've been waiting on for many months now. As most of you know, we could not submit our adoption application until our baby was 6 months old..... well, that day has come. It always makes me sad when my newborns start outgrowing the bassinet and their infant gowns. This time, however, we did have something to look forward to. With every passing day we were getting closer to beginning our journey of adoption.
This afternoon, the kids and I headed to the post office, prayed over this "very important" packet, and sent it on it's way!!!!
The kids stopped for a picture as we headed out the door. Clearly, Lilly is very proud to be the one holding our paperwork and family picture.
Please pray that we get our "first" yes very soon. I mean could you think of a reason not to let an orphan have these adorable kiddos for brothers and sisters? : )We will keep you posted!
My Precious Polly, my tears are flowing. God has hand picked this precious child for your family...I just know it. He has big plans because it's all about HIM! I can't wait to see this unfold and be part of what our mighty God is doing! I love you more every minute, Amelia :) ps-and the 7 big brothers ans sisters have got this foe sure!
