There's a happy dance
happening over here!

We were submitted to the Embassy today!

Which means...
at some point in the next few weeks 
we will hear about an interview with a birth family member...
and we will book our plane tickets for the week after that date!!

2 round trip...
and FIVE one-way!!

It's getting so
REAL
and 
CLOSE
and
REALLY REAL!!
They ARE coming home!!
I am going to have TWELVE children at my dinner table!!

Wow...
I'm not sure how I could ever be worthy of this kind of blessing!!

Thank you for your prayers...
it won't be long now!

  5. I've been reading your blog for a couple of months now, and am finally going to comment. :) That is such wonderful news and your children are SO beautiful! They'll be home in time for all of the fun of late Spring and Summer. So happy for you. I am praying for you as you fast.

  6. Wow! How very fantastic! The Holy Spirit has brought you and your family to mind almost every time I'm preparing food (since you announced your fast). I'm truly celebrating with you and will keep praying as you wait for more news and make travel plans.

  7. I'm so terrified yet thrilled for you! I pray for you and your family whenever I check your blog. I have to say we're at the end of ten hard months since we brought our two home, but your girls are so stinkin cute I think I want to go back for more!

  10. Aww! I'm so happy for you. Quite the change… Suddenly having so many new people around the table, but I'm sure you've dreamed of it and imagined it enough that it will seem like they are all right where they're supposed to be in the family.
