As soon as we let the world know that we had started the adoption process again, things started to get interesting...
Monte and I were teaching the 3 to 4 year olds at church and we started talking about our son in Ug*nda. And then something came up that hasn't since we starting this journey... adopting two. I was very adamant that we were only going to adopt 1 this time. In my mind six kids is perfect, 4 boys, 2 girls. The end.
Then my husband said something that blew me away and gave me anxiety all at the same time,
"Tisha, I think we need to be open to 2."
W H A T?
T W O?
Even though it was something that I was against, right then and there I knew it was what we were suppose to do (or at least be open to it).
On that Monday I emailed our adoption agency and asked them how much more they would charge to adopt another one.
She got right back to me and guess what her response was?
N O T H I N G!
Yes, you read that right.
zero, nada, zilch...
We will still have country costs, but it all totals up to $5,000 more.
So friends, we are now open to TWO boys ages 0-7 years! We will not know until we get a referral if we'll be blessed with one or two, but once again the Lord has made it very clear what His will is and I couldn't be more excited!!
The current verse that I cling to:
Philippians 4:13 "I can do everything through HIM who gives me strength." (emphasis mine)
