We have our referral!!!

 

Our Referral

 
 
God is always on time!  On November 9th, 2010, we made the decision to begin the adoption process, from Russia.  On the 10th, we applied for two brothers, under the age of five.  This past week, we were notified that these two little guys have been identified and presented to us as a referral.  After almost two years, we have actually seen our sons and know who they are! 
 
Because of Russia's restrictions on social media, we are unable to share much information, on the boys.  However, they are brothers who are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 years old.  And yes, they are precious! 
 
Hopefully, we will be traveling, in the next couple of weeks, to see them, for the first time.  Russia requires three trips, so it will be several months before they can be brought home. 
 
The Lord has known these little boys, from the beginning of time.  He has also known that we would be their parents and Taylor and Leah would be their big sisters.  We are thankful that God's heart is for children and for adoption...may we always have a heart like His!   "A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.  God setteth the solitary in families..."  (Psalm 68:5-6a)
 
We will try to keep everyone updated, as we are allowed to share, more information, in the days, ahead.  Meanwhile, please pray for our family and all that is involved in bringing our sons to North Carolina.
 
Love and blessings,
Kim, Craig, Taylor, and Leah
