March 1, 2011- Answer to prayer-- we don't have to travel to Michigan to begin the process.

March 8, 2011- Saw the hand of God when we received our $700 check back from AAI. Just in time to mail $700 out with our home study packet. Praise God!

March 11, 2011- Had our phone consultation with AAI. We hung up with such a giddy feeling, and so excited to move forward in this journey.

June 14, 2011 After a long day with friends we returned home to find an email from an acquaintance. She wrote of a friend in our area who had been contacted by DHHS regarding six month old twin girls who needed a home. We made the decision to inquire with the department.

June 15, 2011 We were told no. We were at peace. We decided that these were not the children God had planned for us. We wondered if foster care was something God was calling us to. We continued our wait.

June 22, 2011 We got the call. From Maine. “Do you still want the twins?”
