I will pray God will reveal to you WHO he has planned to be in our family now - one baby or two. I was very desirous of two and now am DELIGHTED with the one God gave to us. I remember telling God, "okay you NEED to decide on how many are coming this time because I just don't know what is best!" He did communicate to us His heart through the referral process and sucha and we were so full of peace about it when we said YES to David. SO I will pray for you and J and your baby(ies)!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101086842001350040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-14765476467097908742009-06-22T16:58:05.742+01:002009-06-22T16:58:05.742+01:00I freaking love your secret to a happy marriage. ...I freaking love your secret to a happy marriage. Why didn't someone share this with me 8 yrs ago? We could have avoided many silly arguments. :) The advice I have for you (although you don't need any from me) is that no one is ever really ready for these big events. Each time they happen to us (no matter how organized you are or if you have everything written perfectly on a timeline), we all go into a frenzy with big life changes. The beautiful thing is that your will get yourself ready. You don't have to do it all now. And it sounds like you are already getting yourself ready. I also think that if you are set on twins, then let your case worker know that you only want twins and that you are willing to wait. Twins happen, but they are much more unlikely...who knows who's eggs are splitting out there. But be true to yourself. And WOW your adoption timeline is so much different than it is here in the states. I had no idea that you are going over there for a few/several months. That is amazing. I am jealous and relieved all at the same time that we only travel for a week. I think it would be such a gift to you and your child(ren) to spend more time there...but I would want my hubby there too so I feel your pain. You can do this though. You are so strong!

As for the twins/single thing...we were told the same thing, that the odds were very low we could get twins, or even siblings under two. And yet...we got twins. As far as I can tell--only 3 sets of twins from our agency in the last few years if that gives you any indication. And because of our age range and number of children preference--we didn't buy a thing before hand (still haven't') so I know how frustrating that can be to your psyche... but in the end, how much does a baby really need in that first week at home. You can manage to buy it all later--that's not satisfying NOW but it's true so try to find some peace in that. I guess in the end I have no real advice...just wanted you to know that I get it--all of it. And I tried to take deep breathes too...and luckily sometimes it actually helped--I hope it does for you also! :-) katKat & Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771223055953137126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-2767423954824318452009-06-18T15:02:18.503+01:002009-06-18T15:02:18.503+01:00"I've always thought that the secret to a..."I've always thought that the secret to a happy marriage is good storage - when everything has a place to go, life is so much less stressful."
