HAPPY GOTCHA DAY!

    In June of 2005, while searching online waiting child pages,  I clicked on this page of children waiting for families in Oregon....

And then I clicked on these little faces.....

I contacted our adoption social worker and told her that we would like more information on them.  A few months later,  I was finally able to talk with their foster mother and social worker, and we decided they might just be our children.  In early October, a committee in Oregon chose us as their new parents (a decision that God had already made).

We were able to speak to them on the phone several times, but this was the only photo we ever saw before we met them in person.


Then, 4 years ago today, on November 2, 2005 (and my birthday) we got to hug our nine year old daughter and 10 year old son for the very first time!

 

Two days later, on November 4, 2005, they came home with us forever!

It hasn't always been as easy road, but it was the right one!

 WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

                                             Look how they've grown!



Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.  James 1:27 

Once our eyes are opened we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act.
Proverbs 24:12

Our eyes have been opened. It's time to start looking for more little faces.........................
