Please pray!

The MOH (ministry of health) is coming under significant pressure to move ahead with adoptions. He has been the main one holding things up for the past 8 months. He has to do the children's case histories which are necessary for the attaining the children's visas and passports. We are praying he will have a heart change and let the children go OR we are praying that God would send the "plagues"! :) We just want God to be glorified so we are praying that his will be done in this situation.

Our hope and prayer at this point is that we would have our babies by Christmas! With that in mind, I am busy busy busy preparing! I haven't done a lot of prep work for the kids up until this point because things have been so stalled. But with the latest promising news I feel the pressure to GET READY! It will be fun to think through all the little things the kids will need. I can't wait to go and buy stuff for the girls hair! I bought them some pajamas today at Kid to Kid, which is a consignment store for children's clothes. I bought them "footy" pajamas because I know the winters here will be tuff for them because they are used to the warm tropical weather in Liberia!

I also purchased their mattresses today and the guy gave us a great deal! I found their bedding a week or so ago and I'm eager to get it on their beds and see how it looks! I think they are going to have the sweetest girly room. I just can't wait to put them to bed in their own beds! It will be unreal. UNREAL. We've been dreaming about them for so long it will be so strange for those dreams to become reality, for these children who are just pictures in mind, into real flesh and blood children! I can't wait!
