D-Day September 30, 2016

It's finally here, D-Day!!!!!! 🎉 so proud of my sister and brother-in-law for taking the lead in Foster Love. I say foster love because Foster Care so much more than just care. We have watched their precious little ones literally grow because of the ingredient of love. Today is a day to celebrate victory, love after loss, and God's greatest gift which is each other.  We look forward to sharing the exciting photos from today's adoption of Mr. Smiles!

In 7 days... 6 if you don't count today! Sept 23, 2016

Well, my sister is 39 weeks pregnant and her due date is September 30, 2016! In just one week she will officially add another child into her family! Mr. Smiles is already family but on friday he'll get a new last name! It's been a long journey for this little man. He has been in the foster care system since he was four months old and he will be 4 1/2 when he's officially adopted. 

Now the next question you have is, well what about Little Miss Sunshine? Well as of yesterday her mother's appeal has been officially denied and she will be adopted by the family at the end 2016 or the beginning of 2017! Thank you for all of your continued prayers and support throughout this entire journey from the loss of a Elisha to the blessings of these new little people and everything in between.

From Havah yesterday: Today my little boy would have been 4! I can't even believe it. I was feeling really sad yesterday but better today. We went to the pool and ate a yummy dinner, an interesting but good dessert and went to a the movies. Everyone had a good time, lots of laughing. It was a good day. I am so lucky that even though my son only lived for 39.5 weeks he was very loved, he gave me new perspectives on life and gave me even more hope for heaven. And not to mention that I got double blessed with two amazing kids his same age!! I wish Elisha was here but life is good.

April 14, 2016 An Important Date to Set an Even More Important Date

So today is a very special day! This afternoon, there are two very important meetings for our two little bugs! Today's the day they start the official adoption process. They are signing papers to be sent over to the lawyer who will soon get a court date in the next 3-4 months.   

We will not get the date today. Pray that the court date will be the same for both kids. This will be an absolute miracle! Yay! God is good!

Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,

Mr. Smiles
