Praise the Lord! The twins have a family seeking to adopt them!!! I had asked you to pray that even if we were not their forever family, that they would get a family soon! Praise God they do have a family!
Now, what? We continue in the process seeking the children GOD has for us! We are excited to see God work and someday finally bring home our next 2 kids.

The Answer
Thank you SOOOO much for praying!!! We met with the men on Wednesday and after we presented our reasons and timeline, they voted to grant us permission to adopt 2 children, beginning the process in July. PRAISE GOD!!! Therefore, we have 2 more steps with ABWE to get through. 1. is to have the full field council vote on the recommendation of the work committee that we be granted permission to adopt. 2. is at the next ABWE board meeting, which won't take place until July, our field team administrator will ask permission from the ABWE board. Then we can begin by applying to the agency that will help us adopt from Nicaragua.
I am excited. As I've moved into this house, so many of my thoughts have been about how to set up the house to allow for 2 more kids. Things like putting the medicines and cleaning agents out of reach, setting up Caleb's room to add the top bunk when we need to.
This process will be long and sometimes overwhelming, but we are excited to see God continue a process that has been on our hearts for years and years.

Wednesday
This Wednesday is significant in our lives, first it is Hannah's 7th birthday. It is always a joyous occasion to remember the birth of our second child, but it also makes me wonder. Have we missed the birth of our next 2 children? Are they already out there waiting for us???
This being said, the second reason Wednesday is significant is that we are going to talk to our field team leaders this Wednesday. We will be presenting our desire to adopt and asking them to approve our adopting 2 children. We still wouldn't be able to officially begin the process of adopting until our field council and ABWE's board also approve. ABWE's board won't meet again until July, so we have to at least wait until then.
Please pray that the powers that be will listen to our request, the reasons for our request now, and that we will be open to their wisdom and knowledge. We'll let you know their recommendation.
