Our adoption story so far...

It has been a little over a year since the Lord placed in our hearts a desire to adopt. We began praying about it and in October we began the long, arduous paperwork process. After several months of waiting and anticipation, the Lord has blessed us with two, beautiful, twin daughters from Ethiopia. Kirsten is so happy to finally have, not one, but TWO sisters! All of us are overjoyed.
The next step for us is to travel up to Portland to be fingerprinted for immigration approval. Then we wait for the court in Ethiopia to approve the adoption. So we have several months of waiting to go. We are praying that everything goes smoothly and quickly. Now that we have seen their sweet faces it is very difficult to wait.
We have been thinking about names as we will be keeping their Ethiopian names as middle names.
I will do my best to update this blog as we have more information. For now we would ask for your prayers as we bring these precious lives into our family.

We have twins!!

Monday evening at around 5pm, we found out that God has blessed our family with 6 month old twin girls.
