More Shoes to Fill

It looks like we're going to need to take another picture with more shoes in it...

If you've read our posts up until now, you know that we've already accepted referrals for a two year old little boy and a three year old little girl.  Well, a couple weeks ago we received word that our little girl has a younger sister. While we were originally planning on adopting two, we knew that the sibling set could not be split up and even if they could, we would not want to separate them.  We have prayed and seriously sought to understand how best to proceed. We have decided that the Henry's will now be a family of five; we are adopting all three of the children!  We know that it will be difficult but we believe that this is the best decision and we are VERY excited about it!

PLEASE PRAY.  We are still awaiting word on whether they will be able to process the girl's adoption with that of the little boy we first accepted. If they go through court separately we will almost certainly have to travel twice which would be both difficult and expensive.

PLEASE CONSIDER GIVING. As you might imagine, the additional adoption has added costs that we were not originally anticipating.  If you have not given we would love for you to help us bring these children into our family.  As referenced in our previous post, any donations you make through Lifesong are tax deductible.  We truly believe that adoption is an act of obedience and a ministry that reflects the heart of God.  Please consider how you can be a part of our children's journey home.
