Adoption Update!

Today we received a new referral for a girl! She is adorable and we were surprised to find out that she is only 6 DAYS OLD! Surprised but thrilled! We were always obviously okay with having a baby but just didn't think that we would end up with a baby. By the time she arrives home she will be several months older but still very much a baby. Never thought we'd be in baby land again but we are excited. We even got rid of all of our baby stuff. Ha! God has a sense of humor and loves to keep us on our toes.
The kids are excited too though already have said they are not changing poopie diapers. Reagan has all kind of silly names for her. She saw a picture of of the baby drinking a bottle and said " I like the one with milk. If she drinks milk, we should call her Milk. And if she has a snotty nose, we should call her Snotty. " Thanks for the suggestions Reagan but we'll pass on them.
God is also answering many prayers regarding some of the foster care cost for her. Not sure of details yet though.  There's still a lot to figure out between paperwork, timing, and cost, but it will work out.
Mr Easton will be home much earlier then baby sister. Things are still moving forward with him and we are really hoping for late spring, early summer but really just don't know. Maybe it's a really good thing that we will have some time between his arrival and baby sister's arrival.
There is still a huge spot in my heart for Miss Madelyn though I am trusting that God knows best. I'm rejoicing for her and her birth father and still praying for them. We may never understand why she was put in our hearts, but God has a reason. Even if it was to keep her fed and sheltered for the five months in foster care then technically it wasn't "down the drain" as I said before. God knows. I don't. That's okay with me.
Keep praying for everything to fall into place and praise God for every step He's taken us through! Both the heartbreaking and the exciting! Thank you for everyone who has lifted us up in prayer this last week and a half!
