God worked in our hearts and led us to “select” two brothers to join our family.  They’re 6 and 8 years old (or maybe 7 and 9 – nobody is certain).  We’ve seen pictures, read their bios, prayed (and prayed and prayed).  Then we saw video!  They are adorable and we enjoyed seeing them interact with the other children, widows and visitors.  Of course, a lot can happen with the courts and so forth, but we’re pretty sure they will be in our home before the year is out.  They’ve already got a home in our hearts and we pray over their beds all the time – now we can pray their names. 

We’ve got to say that having the responsibility to select was almost more than we could handle.  We want them all!!!  With time and prayer, God impressed upon our hearts that He wants us to have these boys in our family.  We could not have made the decision without time spent with Him.

Please pray for:

• Sary-Jo’s birth certificate to arrive quickly from Puerto Rico
• The boys (“F” and “B”) to learn some English and that they will adapt to a major culture shift
• Our work in the dossier – that it would be assembled properly and accepted rapidly
