Another Family Just Like Ours

I must share with you all about our new friends! Long story, but after hearing about each other for the past 6 months or so, we have finally connected with a family that is right where we are in our adoption journey...& in every sense of the word. They live in Knoxville, are waiting for a little girl, have 2 boys that are very close in ages to our little guys, are using AGCI, & are two ahead of us on the girl waiting list! It is really quite amazing. Our families got together for dinner Friday night & had a great time! Our boys played sooo well together (which is really amazing in & of itself) while we shared about our experiences so far & dreamed about what the next year could hold. We are quite excited about the possibility that we may end up traveling together (maybe if we have another couple with us, N won't lock us up in our room until the adoption is final..which is, of course, not my idea of how we are going to spend our time in our daughter's birth country...I want to soak it all in! Lol!). We also laughed about how both of the dads have banned the moms from surfing around on the listservs & finding stuff to worry about! They are tackling the journey with the same attitude that we are..."we're already in it...no point in worrying...what happens is going to happen". It is so neat how God has blessed us with this family. It is so nice to be able to share our journey with this family & it will be great for all four of our children to be able to see a family that looks just like ours! All this is to say that you never know how God is going to meet the needs in your life & help you on your journey...no matter what it is! Please add their daughter to your prayer list. She may end of being one of our daughter's best friends...they may even be sharing their days in the orphanage before they come home to their forever families!
