Meeting Daniel & Anthony (2)

We had tried to have children for many, many, many years... After trying everything you can imagine, we finally came to the conclusion it just wasn't what GOD had in mind for us. So, after researching our options and deciding we really wanted children, we decided to adopt through our local foster/adopt program (that would be another blog entirely). Anyway, after doing everything we needed to, we finally started the adoption process.

With the questionnaires, interviews, fingerprints, etc. out of the way, we were finally at the point of waiting waiting for our worker to find the right match for our family. We had prayed and discussed what we thought might be the "right fit" for our family. And we prepared - the room was set for a little girl - as young as possible would be great. So we waited and waited and waited.

After a few months of waiting our worker had found the perfect match, based on knowing us so well as this point. (You get very close to someone who has very intimate details of your family). It would be a "little different" than our thought of the right match. If we would be willing, she had twins... boys... that she'd like us to meet. After a deep breath, and swallowing the lump in my throat, I told her I would discuss it with Steve, pray on it together and get back to her the next day. Needless to say, we agreed to meet the boys.



Well, after asking many questions and talking about many concerns... Oh, who are we kidding, we fell in love right away.
