It seems we may be having a new development in our lives (yes ANOTHER one). As some of you know, we received a referral for baby "T" about a year ago in November. Well, after 6 months of waiting for court, we were told there were lots of issues with his paperwork and he most likely would not be able to be adopted and we were told it would be best to accept another referral. This was incredibly heart breaking for us, but we felt God was leading us to accept the referral, fast forward to today - welcome David!
We have been adjusting well, although we did not know when we would be ready to adopt again...until last Thursday. Simon and I had both been thinking about baby "T", who by the way is 17 months old now, but did not say anything to each other. After a surprise email from another adoptive family asking if there was any chance we could still get him, we were feeling lead to contact our agency to get an update on him.
The email we received back this morning said they would check into it after Christmas. This is where all of you come in, we need your prayers like CRAZY right now. Please pray for God's will in this child's life, whether that is in our family or another, but that he will not have to live in the orphanage for another year!
Simon and I are following the opening that God has given us although we have no idea how we will 1. pay for it 2. take care of both David who is 19 months now and baby "T" who is 17 months.
More to come...

Just my humble opinion, but if the agency comes back and says that baby T is adoptable, then he is MEANT for your family. And I don't think there is a better or more Godly reason to go into debt than to welcome an orphan into your hearts and home! And caring for two that are about the same age would be WAY easier than caring for an infant and a toddler (I've done it -- not at all fun). We'll be on pins and needles until you post again!!
I just stumbled on your blog, and I am so touched by your sweet hearts. Can't wait to pray for you guys and baby T!
Jess & Simon~We are praying and cannot wait to hear!!! SO exciting!!!
