Our Easter was very memorable. Not only were we celebrating our risen Savior, but we were also celebrating some special adoption news with our families.
I will probably do a series of posts about this, but for today, I just want to announce that we have chosen to adopt a waiting child.
Here's how we presented this news to our familes:
 |
| Special cupcakes tell the news.... |
 |
| I cut out the middle of the cupcakes and... |
 |
| Inserted the appropriate color icing (pink or blue). |
 |
| Six jelly-bellies on top represent the age of our child. |
As for the gender: IT'S A ......

| My niece was the happiest of all. She finally has a girl cousin! |
GIRL!!
 |
| Jeremy's mom was super excited to find out about her first granddaughter! |
 |
| Aunt Susanna and Aunt Mary are excited about their new niece as well! |
Both of our families were very happy and so are we! I will share more of this story later this week, but for now we have a six year old little girl "on hold" for us in Bulgaria.
Please be praying for our little girl

Congratulations. Such exciting news! Hope everything goes swiftly to bring your little girl home soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Viviane!
DeleteYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How exciting Shelly and Jeremy! I can't wait to find out more. How encouraging and we are so excited for you two. We will keep praying. What's the timeline look like?
ReplyDeleteWe are so excited too! Thanks for the sweet blog post btw! We do not have a lot of information about the timeline. We hope to learn more soon, and we will share more as we know. All I know is it'll be faster than we first thought.
DeleteWhat great news! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCan I ask how you "chose" her? We have all of our paperwork in with the MOJ in Bulgaria and are waiting to be matched. We have been looking into possibilities on Rainbow kids and Reeses's Rainbow too. Rather than waiting for the 18 month process, we're trying to find our little girl.
Julie, read my most recent post for a longer answer to this question. We really weren't seeking out a waiting child; it just kind of happened! Best wishes as you wait on your daughter as well!
DeleteWOW!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU ALL , GOD BLESS THIS LITTLE GIRL WAITING FOR YOU BOTH AND I PRAY IT HAPPENS SOON. SUCH A WONDERFUL BLESSING, LOVE YOU ALL, ALICE.
