Our Little Family is GROWING!
Some of you already know our exciting news...our little family is GROWING! Rhen and I have been wanting to add to our family for quite some time now. We have been praying that Heavenly Father would send us a little miracle and our prayers have been answered. He didn't just send us one miracle, he sent us THREE! Who would have thought???? We can't find the words to express how excited we are, how humbled we are, and how truly grateful we are for this wonderful miracle that is taking place in our lives. Many of you know that we have been exploring our option to adopt for a few years now. We have been registered with LDS Family Services for a while and recently discovered that the Navajo Nation has an agency that assists in placing Navajo Children. While we were visiting some family in New Mexico, we came across this sign...
We felt this was our answer. We completed our homestudy through the Navajo tribe and began recieving newsletters telling us about children who were looking for a permanent family. We spent several months praying to find the children that were meant to be a part of our family. One day we came across three little children. As we read about them, our hearts were filled with peace and we knew they were meant to be ours.
Many have asked us what their story is. Our answer is simply that these little spirits were born into circumstances that were not in their best interest. Luckily they have had foster parents who have loved them and taken care of them until we were able to find them. We are truly grateful to their foster parents for taking care of these sweet little children for us. We love their foster parents and hope they know what a great blessing we feel they are in our lives.
We got to meet our little cuties a few weeks ago. Our minds have been flooded with cute little smiles and fun little memories ever since. We can't wait until we get to bring them home. For the time being, we get little visits as often as we can.
