Our family is growing...It's Twins!

For those who have followed our journey in Bolivia, you'll remember the two sweet faces of Alison and Kat, the first children to come live with us while we were serving as house parents with CDA.  These two precious angels came to live with us after being in the hospital for two months recovering from severe malnutrition.  During our two years together we got to experience many "firsts" with the girls.  It was heart-breaking for our family when we completed our term with the orphanage and these two hadn't been adopted.  Upon our return to Bolivia in January, we were able to visit Ali and Kat on a few occasions.  Each time we left them, it just didn't seem right.  Don't get me wrong, their living conditions were great and they were with a wonderful christian foster family being loved on like crazy.  After praying about it, we decided to request guardianship with the intent to adopt.  Our initial hearing was last week.  The judge accepted our request!  We should get to bring the girls home for the second and final time on June 10th.  We couldn't be more excited!
