We're having twins! (kind of)

From the beginning of this journey, Chris and I have felt led to adopt two children from Ethiopia. When we received the DVD of children from AWOP, we knew that God had chosen M for us. We asked if she had a cousin or friend in the orphanage with her, and we would consider adopting that child too. Weeks passed and it was looking like we would just be bringing home M. All the other children had been placed or there were just sibling groups left. I had been struggling with the idea of just "one". Would she feel like an outsider? Would she get lonely for her friends from the orphanage? I am sure that this would, at times, be the case. But nothing that we couldn't help her through. Friday we got an email from our caseworker at AWOP and they wanted to let us know that another little girl was available for adoption, and they thought of our family. She was originally placed with another family, but circumstances took over and they were not able to move forward with their adoption plans. We are sad for this other family, as they have had to put their dreams on hold as they work through some family issues. But we are SO excited and grateful to God for placing another precious little girl in our path! Her name is Gl and she is 6 years old. Both M and Gl are very similar in size, just a few pounds and a few inches shy of each other. Our caseworker said it's like we are adopting twins! Who would have thought!? Please continue to pray for our TWO little girls. We are praying that the Lord would begin to prepare their hearts for all the changes that are to come in their lives.
