The trees are budding and flowers are blooming. Spring has come to Poland.
Just two neat things to share today.
1). At our first meeting at the institution, one of the workers told us of a miracle. In a shipment of donated clothes after they knew we had accepted the referral for the kids, the workers found a t-shirt that said "Illinois." The worker said, "It was like a gift from an angel." And Kid #1 was proudly wearing that shirt during the first week.
2). I don't know when to say that we officially started the paperwork to start this adoption. I know we called our homestudy agency in March, 2011, but decided to wait a month. Then we called again in April, 2011 to get into the May training. Our social worker came out to our house on May 2. You know when the kids arrived at their institution? April, 2011.
Our journeys started at essentially the same time.
Not that I had a doubt but it's sweet to hear again how God brought you all together. :)
ReplyDeleteLove you all! Can't wait to see you again - missing you on the Jen/Dar weekend out here.
Just another confirmation of God's perfect planning! We miss you! I kept expecting to see you at the showers today, but I'm thankful that you have all this bonding time with the kids. It really is best that they get used to you guys before introducing them to the WHOLE family.
ReplyDeleteWow, its so awesome to see how God perfectly plans our life. It's great to be reassured for our own adoption journey!
