Yep! It is official. The Jag's have a referral for a little boy.....and he has an adorable sister! We are so thrilled here and can't wait to meet our new children. Ahh! We are going to be a family of 7!!! I was trying to make our family number even, but this is how we roll! We still have a few months in the process until we can bring them home, but we wanted to let you know about our new additions as soon as we could. Our little guy is 2.5 yrs. old and as cute as can be. He has got the cutest little smile and by the look in his eyes, will be able to keep up with his big brother and sisters. Our little girl is 3.5 yrs. and just has the most beautiful eyes! Ughh- I just want to squeeze them both!
I just wanted to let you know how blessed we feel to be bringing these children into our home. Thanks SO much for all your prayers and thoughts during the last year while we have been awaiting a referral. As soon as we can post pictures, we will. But until our case goes to court in Ghana, I can't post it on the blog. (If you want me to send you a picture- this proud mom will eagerly do that)!
(Sorry I didn't call everyone today, but we wanted to share as soon as we could and didn't have enough hours in the day to call anyone except immediate family)
We love you and would appreciate your continued prayers!!!

Your AAI family couldn't be happier for you and having met them personally, I just hope I can pass on to anyone that reads about them just how precious they really are! These 2 could not be ANY cuter!

Congratulations on your referral! Rejoicing with you and your family :)
Kristin,
What fantastic news! I am sitting here in Tillamook, Oregon where we are visiting with Doug's mom, and we too share a desire to add to our family of five through adoption (though we have no clue how or when), so it was with great joy that I read this post. Praise God for his perfect will and timing and grace in bringing these precious ones to your family.
We are so excited for you guys!! That is wonderful news. Congratulations. We can't wait to see pictures and hear more.
Love, Brooke & Pete
Woo hoo! Congrats. That is terrific news. So happy for all of you and for those two kids who are joining such a great family!
It has happened! You excepted the two cutest at Eban House (except for my new nephew!). I am so excited for you and now we get to cheer you on! You go JAGS!
