Lots has changed since we last posted, here's a quick recap.
After 6 months in Uganda, we brought home our precious daughter on September 16, 2016.
My two requests were that everyone give her some space, it had been a hard travel day and she was struggling. Moving to a new country with a new family is hard. My next request was that we sing the Doxology. I wanted it to be so clear, especially for our hearts, that this was all about God. His doing, His power, His sovereignty.
We found out about a month after coming home that we were expecting. We hadn't tried for biological kids before adopting and we were ecstatic to be growing our family and giving Noeline a sibling.
Then, on March 17, 2017 we officially adopted Noeline. She gained our last name and we became a forever family!
On July 16, 2017 our sweet son Caleb joined our family! Noeline was convinced the whole time I was pregnant that the baby would be a boy. She was so excited to have a baby brother!
We've had a challenging year with allergy/health issues with Caleb but its also been such a sweet time of seeing their bond grow and their deep love for each other. They're such a joy!
We've recently decided to grow our family again. Because of law changes in Uganda, the timing isn't right for our family to adopt from there again. It would require a year residency in Uganda and until Caleb is healthier, and Chris has more experience as a Nurse Pracitioner it just isn't feasible for our family.
SO.....WE ARE ADOPTING FROM....
SOUTH AFRICA!!! Lots of people already know this but if you're just catching up that may be new news! As with Noeline's adoption, we covet your prayers and support as we embark on this long journey!
