This Wednesday we will be meeting with the children's social worker who will be making the final placement decisions eventually. We heard that he is a believer too and I have been very impressed as I have talked with him on the phone. He is also an adoptive parent and he seems to be very steady and reasonable. We pray that the Lord will give him great insight and clarity as he works through this process.
We are hoping that we will soon be able to have "the girls" (3 of the 6 children) come and visit with us soon for a few weeks. This would give us and them time to get to know one another and to see how some of the family dynamics might work out. . .
This adoption process is VERY different from our Liberian adoption experience. We know a lot more, but there are also more unknowns. . . if that can possibly make any sense at all? Crazy.
Jeff was joking that we like to just double the size of our family.
We went from 3 to 6 when we adopted the first time.
This time we will be going from 6 to 12.
What does that mean for next time? LOL!

Wow! Cool!
I haven't been reading many blogs for the past 6 weeks as we've been in the midst of an adoption CRISIS. So good to catch up with your family today.
Hope you've read my recent posts on The Crisis, and the many challenges that adoption can bring. I realize that you've already adopted 3 ... but the new 6 will probably come with their own set of challenges.
Blessings,
