Getting Excited

I got a call from Agency Worker earlier today. She told me that CPS is going for termination of parental rights for the two girls we are interested in on Monday. Frequently a family member will step in at this point but no one has so it is quite likely the girls will be available for adoption. If everything goes as expected on Monday, these two little girls should be in my home before August 16th! I'm getting more excited about it every day.

I always try to keep myself from becoming emotionally involved too soon, but I'm no good at it. I just love children and I ache for the pain they have gone through. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my kids and my life really revolves around them. I've heard that people wonder how a mother with lots of kids can love them all enough, and I've heard it answered that each mom loves with all she has. It feels like God is stretching my heart to make room for more right now.

One of my dreams throughout this whole process is in seeing my new children accept Christ and be baptised. I tear up just thinking about it. It will be a joy to lead these little children to Jesus who is truly the greatest love they will ever know, if they don't know him already.

I just can't wait!
