OUR PLANS MULTIPLIED: Clue #2

OUR PLANS MULTIPLIED

In the beginning, JD adamantly only wanted two children. I thought that four would be perfect. Once we caught God's vision of putting orphans into families, our plan was multiplied by God. We are currently blessed with 12 children; five biological, six adopted and one more waiting in Ethiopia. Our first adoption was from the U.S., the next three were from Liberia, West Africa, and our last two were from Ethiopia. We are supporting our 12th child in Ethiopia after her adoption could not pass court.

Clue #2 - The Sign

We had not seen Gabriel in nine months and thought we wouldn't before he deployed unless we made the trip to San Diego. JD had two free tickets that we're expiring at the end of the month, but honestly I couldn't bear to come without Elijah who asked almost daily to come see his big brother and sister-in-law. I ended up cashing in my credit card points and getting three other tickets, so we could bring the three boys. The funeral ended up being an unplanned bonus Gabriel and Alayna visit, but I'm thankful it provided the girls the opportunity to see Gabriel before he leaves. So, we told Gabriel and Alayna good-bye in PA three days ago and hello in CA today. This is our boy adventure and we have plans for a girl adventure trip next year....or the next once the points build up again.
