The Unexpected

Well, we have received a call about a possible placement! It didn't take long at all. We actually didn't get licensed until the next day after the call. I was on the phone with the lady that did our home study answering a few questions when she informed me that they had a possible placement for us. My heart immediately started racing with excitement. I didn't really think it would happen so fast. Then, the details began to unfold. She said that it was a bit more than what we had decided we would do. We said in our home study that we would be willing to take a sibling group of 2 kids, one being around 2 the other a newborn. Our preference was to start with one to kind of get our feet wet a little. This placement isn't just one baby, it isn't even 2 babies. It is 3 children! She went on to tell me their ages which are 2 1/2, 1 1/2, and 2 weeks old. She gave me some sketchy details of their situation, and I said I would talk to Matt and get back to her.
Here's the crazy part....we've decided to do it!!!!! There's a ton of boring, awesome details between that phone call and our decision, but the bottom line is that Matt and I have an instant family. What are we going to do??? Pray that God will continue to provide for our every need and bless us as we jump headlong into the pool of parenting. I have quite a long list of things that we need. I will be posting it as soon as we know the genders of the children. We would be so thankful if those that love us would come alongside us as we begin this adventure in any way that you can. We are so thankful for our friends and family. That is 100% the reason that we knew we could do this. More details to come......
