We're adopting two more! Quick! - 08/28/04 03:51 PM
We got a call the other day saying we were chosen, then we
were "unchosen" and now it's all on again. And now it's a sure thing, with paperwork underway and everything. A little girl who is almost 4, and a baby boy of 2 months old. Oh my goodness!!!
Okay, the rollercoaster is killing me, but we are travelling today to meet our kids tomorrow. Consents will be signed on Tuesday, and we'll be able to bring them back next weekend. So it's been an insane couple of days. Somehow we've managed to put up a crib, clean out the spare room, buy a van (gulp!), get everything together, and trust God to get us through it.
The worst is that we started off yesterday and got into a car
accident on the way out of town. With our van that we only bought 2 hours earlier! The truck in front of us lost its load and two mattresses came flying at us at full speed! I truly thought our lives were over. Somehow God helped us and only a rear window was blown out. Except it blew out all over Adam who was buckled into his car seat, although miraculously he literally doesn't have a scratch on him. It is an absolute miracle. We also lost a mirror and got some dents, but we can drive with those at least and deal with it
later.
So today we're getting ready to leave again, dealing with the expense and hassle and paperwork insurance and repairs. Somehow this is going to come together whether it's easy or not!
