Well as you all know, we had our meeting today to see if the two children were for our family...The meeting started off so good, starting with the social worker and her attitude and demeanor and transparency about the little ones...We felt a total peace about everything that was being discussed and we both just knew these were them! The children ages 2 and 3 (still keeping their names private as of now) are precious and we saw them today for the first time on a sheet of paper. We let her know "yes" right away, but we can't officially tell her till Monday (We're supposed to sit on it the weekend :) )
So the day we've been anticipating has arrived! The children God has planned to have in our family from the beginning of all time have finally been brought to us! Praise The LORD!! We told the kids and they are so excited and overwhelmed with emotions as we all are!
We will go next Friday 4/24 (which happens to be our 10 year wedding annniv)to meet them for the first time! I think I will need a box of tissues this day (I'm sure my hubby will too), I can only imagine what it will be like to see them face to face for the first time knowing they will be our babies! This is part of transitioning the children into our home and it will happen a few times before the final transition. We are hoping within the month...But as we've been learning this whole time; it's all in God's PERFECT timing...I'll leave you with the verse I believe may be one of the first verses we all learn together :)
Psalm 139:13-16
For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

PS: I don't know if you need a bed but I have a pretty whitewashed capitans bed (with drawers underneath) that you can have if you need one. I also have a crib but the two year old might already be out of cribs...) let me know if you need ANYTHING!
