Everything changed dramatically on March 25, 2013, when we were approached by a family in Little Rock with the possibility of adopting twin boys here - Here's the blog post about that.
I posted quite a bit during the waiting time of April - here are some of those posts:
Waiting with a Heavy Phone
Surrender in Adoption
A Different Kind of Labor
On Remaining Optimistic
Then, things started to really happen.
April 22, 2013 - Twins were born here in Little Rock - a boy and a girl!
April 24, 2013 - After a roller-coaster day, birth-mom signs paper work to make the babies ours!
April 29, 2013 - We announce their names and show their pictures!
May 13, 2013 - We officially become a Forever Family!
William and Violet are true blessings from the Lord, and we are so grateful for all the Lord has done to make us family.
