YEA!! It's finally happened! We have referrals!

Yes, the title says referralS as in plural :-) We are adopting two precious little sisters, ages 4 and 5. Abykeya is 4 and goes by Aby (pronounced Abby), and Hannah is 5. Our hope is to be submitted to court next week to get on the docket and then we could possibly have a court date sometime in June. Wow! It's finally happening :-) We will now be the happy (and perhaps slightly frazzled) parents of 3 boys and 3 girls. Never in a million years did we think we'd be momma and daddy to six children. But as with everything, God knew and so here we are :-)

Thank you thank you for all your prayers. Please keep them coming and please pray for our daughters. We have all already fallen in love with them - the kids were bursting at the seams to tell all their friends about them today at school. Our hearts yearn to hold them and make sure they are fed and warm and comforted, etc. and it's hard to not be able to do that for them right now. We know though that God loves them even more than we can so He will take good care of them until they can come home to us. We just can't stop smiling and praising "Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us" Ephesians 3:20

Blessings,
Valerie & Chris
