All (possibly) Four

Lately I have gotten to have a lot of opportunities to have conversations about adoption, our adoption, our future family.  That has lead to a lot of looks like this

This look is usually preceded by me saying "Four."

It has led me to believe that I have failed to mention some important information.  

We are eligible to bring home up to four children.  We have known for quite some time that we want to bring home a sibling group.  They are more difficult to place in families.  It is a big step for a family to add a child to their home and lives through adoption.  Adding multiples is more than some families are prepared for.  Placing a sibling group gets more difficult as the number of children increases.  Probably because of looks like that.

We live in America where the average family has 2 kids and a dog...sometimes I forget that I don't fall into that category.  I have always wanted a large family.  I know God is putting them together piece by piece.  The first few, we expect from Colombia.  Then we will continue to allow God to write our story.  (We have tried to make plans before, but God just changed them all for us.)   

Our family will change in big ways, when our kids come home but more than anything we want to provide a stable and loving home where they can continue to be a family.  After all they've been through and all they've had to experience in their short lives, we believe that at the very least they deserve that...all (possibly) four of them.
