eeeeeekkk!

I don’t know what else to say…

WE GOT OUR LOAs!


One GIANT step closer to our girls.

For since the world began,
no ear has heard,
and no eye has seen a God like You,
who works for those who wait for Him!

Isaiah 64:4

    Something about Poppy reminds me of Dalton. Do you see that? Congrats. It’s hard to imagine doing to separate adoptions on the same trip, but I am hoping it goes smoothly & that it just instantly comes together in every sense.
