We have finally received our referraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!!!!!!!
Today is a magical, beautiful, momentous, heart-breaking, and craaaazy day! We now have pictures, faces, names, and stories to go with the love that just keeps growing in our hearts. Today we were officially give the opportunity to say YES! We want them! We can't WAIT to adopt them and have them in our arms, in our family and in our lives forever!!! We can't WAIT to be the parents of two little...
BOYS!!!!
We're naming them Desmond and Quincy (we love their current names too and will keep them as their middle names) and let me tell ya, they are, hands-down, the two cutest little boys in this UNIVERSE!!! We can't post pictures until we pass court and have custody, but just picture some seriously, heart-meltingly cute little dudes!! And they're both about the same age; just over a year old. That's right, two baby boys!!! As I said, we can't WAIT!!!
What now, right? Well, we've officially requested court dates for custody. Usually it takes about 3 months from referral to court date, but it can sometimes be faster or slower. We will be traveling for court, so obviously we're PRAYING that day comes soooooo soon!!!
Referral day also had some unexpected sadness to it. On a day like this you can't pretend your kids are doing great on the other side of the world. There's a sobering realization that there are tough reasons for why they need to be adopted, and that life without a loving family is so hard, I don't think most grown folks I know could take it. All we can do now is pray that we can hold them in our arms soooo soon, and then bring them home shortly after.
Thanks so much for your love and support. Please continue to pray with us for our boys, and that they would come home soon. Praise God! He knows what He's doing!!!!
2 years, 11 months, 1 week and 6 days since we started the process of adoption.
