And then there were 7 ~Adoption Story (Part 3)

Right after we got little bit, we found out her twin sisters were separated and that they wanted to place them together.

Nick asked if I thought it was possible for us to take them.

I had no clue if we had the room let alone if I could handle three!

We talked about it and decided to at least try.

We started sibling visits right away and were sad to see that the twins did not even seem to remember that little bit was their sister.

They had also been moved around a lot.

This was a foster only situation so we had no clue if it would lead to adoption but we decided we really wanted them together.

We continued sibling visits while we worked and advocated to get the girls together.

Finally on July 1st the oldest twin was placed with us.

We learned to take a family picture right away because you never know when they will leave.

And no matter how long they were with us, they are family.

At the end of the same month we got the younger twin.

I said my max was 4 kids, I have 5.

Life is funny, and crazy, and amazing.

But mostly life is about grace.

Grace for them and grace for me.

And a lot of chocolate…
