Last night after I finished up the blog, finished up a few emails, we received an email from the agency around 10:30 PM that the twins made their entrance into this world around 7:20 PM and 7:22 PM.
Baby B is no longer a mystery!
We have a 3 lb 10 oz baby boy and a 4 lb 4 oz baby girl!
Last night consisted of making travel plans, packing and trying to wrap our head around the fact that they were here.
We had very little information other than they were here.
It wasn't until we arrived here in FL that we got the full low down.
They both have abnormal kidney levels so they are being transported from Boynton Beach to Miami.
We hope to get to see them after 9 PM tonight.
Once we have seem them we will update everyone on names.
Please continue to pray for these 2 little beings that God has put in our lives.
God is Good!

Beyond Excited....Absolute JOY! We've been matched!
It has been a little over a month since we posted last.....and what a busy month is has been.
Joe and I are so excited and pleased to announce that we have been MATCHED!
With absolute JOY we are pleased to announce that we are going to be the parents of TWINS that are due Dec. 16th! (We are expecting their delivery sometime in Nov.)
Baby A is very much a boy and Baby B is our mystery. She/He would not reveal themselves and would not stop moving long enough for us to get a picture. There is a lot to be said for having a surprise! What EXCITEMENT!
Our trip to Florida last week wasn't all vacation...we were blessed beyond measure to meet the sweet birth mother and we were able to go with her to have a 4D Ultrasound. It was so amazing to meet such a selfless woman and have such a wonderful experience with her to get to see the ultrasound of the twins. She was 32 weeks last Monday and both babies were breech and face to face. It looks like Baby A is telling Baby B secrets!
Our adoption journey is not over...only just beginning!
As we prepare for twins, we can not believe God (and this sweet birth mother) chose us....
We are trying to keep things low key until we are all home together.
Once we know more and can share more, we will.
Please continue to pray for us, the babies and the birth mom.
The adoption journey is joyous and difficult...
I read a great blog today from our AMAZING adoption consultant who was kind to remind us that November is National Adoption Awareness Month (Sunday, November 3rd is Orphan Sunday) and she posted something that is a very true reminder....
Adoption is hard. It’s emotional and difficult and expensive and not perfect. There is grief and there is turmoil. But there is the lesson of ultimate redemption. There is love beyond imagination. It’s a beautiful, miraculous thing.
As Joe and I are entering in the final stretch of our adoption journey, we ask you to prayerfully consider helping us with donating to our adoption fund raiser. Every penny you send will go toward the expense of bringing these babies home.

We will have to stay in Florida for a several weeks so if you have extra hotel points...they would help a ton with our stay.
