Our home has three beautiful princesses. They are not princesses because of some misguided spoiled treatment or ideal but because their Father in Heaven is the King of all the earth and they are his daughters! We also have a one year old son, our requisite prince :)
Just yesterday we mailed the application to adopt a 4 year old girl from Haiti, our 4th princess! Our children at home are currently 1,2,3, and 5 years old. It was easy to see that someone was missing!

This is a beginning of a long journey, but one we hope will continue to be led and blessed by God. Even before this child was born He knew she would be a part of our family! Yesterday I gathered my children and we layed hands upon the thick envelope of papers that will serve as proof of our worthiness to parent a daughter from a country we have never even visited. I prayed and asked God's blessing on each person who would handle the papers as well as for our financial needs and the health of our newest daughter. Anna prayed that her sister would come home quickly and that she would get something to eat other than rice, Zaia prayed for God to help her and bless us, and Melissa was difficult to understand but prayed quietly for quite a long time. I wonder if there will be a kinship between our adopted daughters, different as their beginnings were.
I will post our updates here, and hopefully they will come quickly!

Yea! You've started a blog! Can't wait to read about the journey each step of the way!!!
Thanks, I am going to need to talk to someone about this...so I thought I might as well talk to everyone at once!
I too have heard the comments that we have enough children, and it can be so discouraging especially when you feel so led to adopt, and know in your heart it is the right thing to do. We too are just finishing off our homestudy, adopting from Haiti a girl (age 8) who we feel is our daughter with all of our hearts.
