Can't Wait!

This last week we received a letter from the IRS 

that is soooooo very frustrating! 

They don't want to honor our request for our 

adoption credit for the adoption of 

Donovan and Elijah.

GRRRRR - r.e.a.l.l.y.,

 Ms. K, who is charge of our case,

you are more then welcome to come over for dinner.

We would love to show you are beautiful sons,

and prove to you that they are real.

We had planned to use this refund as a large 

portion of our adoption fees for our 

sweet boys waiting in China. 

Though we are still appealing to Ms. K and the lovely IRS,

we are so very excited to see how God is going to 

use this development and 

bring our sweet boys home! 

Thank you Heavenly Father for your provisions
to pay the ransom that is needed for our boys!

Philippians 4:19-20

"And my God shall supply all your needs 

according to HIS riches in glory 

by Christ Jesus. 

Now to our God and Father be glory 

forever and ever!"

Thank you to everyone who is helping us with a name for 

our little guy! 

We love your ideas -

Howard -

(1st agency he was listed with a year ago -

called him "Howie" :)

Heston,

Henry,

Hank,

Hudson,

Harris,

Harley,

Hardy...

we really like Hudson -

which we liked from the beginning -

but here's a question for you -

our last name ends in "son"

can we do Hudson Scott ****son?

or is that just too weird?

Thanks so much for your help friends! 

More about our new little guy!

Our newest little guy is 4 years old.

2 months younger then Elijah!

TWINS!

We'll have 2 sets of virtual twins!

I always wanted twins! 

Now I have 2 sets! 

Since we were approved for sweet Griggs,

we have been thinking, praying, wrestling 

with God if we are to bring home 

another kiddo.

And if HE had another child for us -

would this child have dwarfism'?

We finally asked our social worker to approve us for 

2,

just in case! 

Well, you know - that is just opening a can of worms. 

So, then came more prayers and more wrestling.

More excuses,

more doubts,

more searching,

more time on our knees!

More answers from God!

We asked our agency to look for a boy or girl

with dwarfism, or mild CP.

I really thought they would find a girl with 

mild CP.

But nope,

That's not what God planned!

Our friend in China found our sweet boy,

in the same orphanage as Griggs!

Amazing! 

Cause God knew my fears, requests, doubts

and HE is taking care of EVERYTHING!

Friday morning, before we received the official PA 

(Permission to Adopt letter)

from China -

we received some new photos of 

our sweet little man.

Since we don't have a name for him yet -

we think 

"Mr. Personality"

 fits him just perfectly! 

What do you think?

We are looking for an name beginning with 

"F" or "H".

I like Scott for a middle name -

all three of my brothers middle names are Scott -

so I think that would be cool. 

How I'm understanding their orphanage is set up- 

I don't believe they know each other -

but soon they will be brothers forever!

Can't wait to get these two sweet boys home -

where they belong! 

(Just a reminder  -

because people have been asking -

Griggs will be 2 in August)

We are still hoping to travel to our sons 

January/February time frame!
