This is the first picture that we saw of all four all the boys, but we were already in love before we saw this.

It all started when we were at a bible study at a friends house. The Knight's (who are in Uganda right now trying to bring home their daughter) were telling the group about 4 brothers at the Redeemer House (an orphanage Kathy Vaughan runs). The host mom asked how old they were and immediately her husband said very LOUD "are you crazy?!". It was funny and I am pretty sure I laughed but at the same time my heart broke. These are 4 very special children that probably get that reaction a lot. Don't get me wrong though...I appreciate his honesty and love this family and they love adoption. They are making a huge sacrifice by bringing in foster newborns, loving on them, and then have to give them back. Something  I could not imagine.

I couldn't stop thinking about these boys, but I didn't say anything. Two days later, Dan says to me "wouldn't it be awesome if we could adopt those boys". I love my husband's heart. "yes it would!" I said.

Dan and I had pursued adoption through the state a few years prior but the doors never seemed to open. Then we were blessed with another baby. 

Still thinking it would just be "awesome" but not possible, Dan mentions it to his sister and now we're in trouble:) She tells Jenay, Jenay invites us to dinner with Kathy, Kathy tells us their story. Now we're in love. God has put them on our hearts and there is no going back. 

Dan got to briefly meet all of the boys in October. He was asked if he felt confirmation. He said that was a hard question for him because he has felt the confirmation all along. It is impossible to put into words what he felt when he met them.

The support has been amazing. The heartache is almost unbearable. There is so much more to the story but I will leave it at that for now.
