Update...can you please help us????

WE MET OUR CHILDREN TODAY!!  We went to the babyhouse today and met twin girls.   They were so sweet.    We fell in love.  WE MET OUR CHILDREN!  It is not what we planned, but we both feel it's God's plan for us..     They are 3 1/2 and so so so in need of a family and love. 

 

We came back the aparment so thrilled.. but, quickly the truth hit us... We don't have the money to adopt 2 children!  

 

As most everyone who receives these emails knows we were down to the penny to complete this adoption and that was when we were bringing home one child.   We did not have enough money to adopt 2 children (it's about $13,000 more than one).   We had felt that this must be God's way of telling us we were just to adopt 1 child from Kazkahstan.    We came... we told them this... but, they asked if we were open to 2 children.   We shared that yes, we were open to it.. but, felt that we were only here for one son.   (ha ha!)...    We receieved the call today.. and went to the babyhouse.. they told us there were 2 children available... we assumed they meant 2 for us to choose from...   NOPE.. it was 2 children.    Twin girls.    We had no idea.. until they walked into the room... (or ran).. 

As these two TINY babies walked into that room.. Phil grinning at me and I grinned at him... and we both KNEW....  

We played with them for about 30 minutes it continued to become clear to us that these were our children... I just knew.. and Phil says he just knew.   He says the second they walked in the room... their sweet little smiles.. he knew that he was not going to have a son.   :)    and he was FINE with that!  :) 

We were able to play with them for over 30 mins...  

The Dr. was not available to share all their medical info. with us...  so we are going back to the orphange tomorrow to hear all the medical details.    We both felt 100% sure these were our girls..   I have to admit... I was/am a tiny bit disapointed... I dreamed of a boy.. but, after playing with these angels... my heart is gone!

We didn't really allow ourselves to think about the financial aspect of saying yes to 2 children verses the one..   but, after arriving back here at the apartment it has hit us..  We have NO finanacial way to adopt the 2 girls...  we are $10,000 short of having enough money to bring them home.     As we've been sitting here talking...  (about to burst into tears)...  praying... asking God how... what are we supposed to do...  I decided to just type out an email.  

 

I know that most everyone who receives these updates has given and blessed us over the past 3 years in ways we've been astonished by...   We have been so blessed by all of you.. 

but, as we've been here for 2 weeks today... I can't help but, think of how fortunate we are in the US... we have NO idea how blessed we are... 

 

This upcoming Sunday is orphan Sunday...   can you PLEASE help us bring these 2 girls home??   Our hearts our breaking with the sadness and things we've seen here and we wish we could share a portion of this with all of you.  

We have to give them an answer SOON about these girls.. and we feel in our hearts that we are supposed to do this..    is there anyway you can help?     If you can't help financially... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray...  

if you could see what we've seen...  you would understnad our desperation and understand why we are willing to ask once again for help..  (this is so hard to send out...)

Can you help us?  Can you help us bring 2 babies home forever?   PLEASE feel free to share the news... 

Anyone up for organizing a fundraiser for us???  :)  

We need to give the babyhouse an answer as soon as possible...  honestly, it would be best if we gave them our decision tomorrw morning @ 10 am (12 hours from now)... can we do this in 12 hours?!  PLEASE help us!!!  PLEASE!

 Join us as we trust God for a miracle!!!!! 

Blessings...  PLEASE keep praying for us!
