On October 30th we were set to meet our boys, but received a phone call that morning telling us, the foster family just could not let them go and they woudl be given the first rights to adopt the boys. We are heartbroken for ourselves, but accept this will mean the boys will not have to transition out of the only home they have known. We have taken the past couple of weeks to experience the pain and anger that comes with the loss of the boys, but are moving on to work toward opening our hearts and home to a child who needs a home. We are journaling our experiences at www.jonesjourneyoffaith.blogspot.com....feel free to join us there. We ask for your prayers over the next few weeks/months, while we move forward in our journey. Thanks.

For those of you who are curious or do not know how our family is becoming a grouping of 7, Jonesy and I are adopting 2 little boys, brothers aged 4 and 2. We are adopting through the state of Kentucky. We are asking for your prayers for these little boys, our little boys, while we make this transition. They will not be living with us for awhile, but we will be taking the necessary and required steps to bring them into our lives as smoothly and quickly as possible. Please pray for Noah, Macy and Molly as they will be making some adjustments. They are super excited, but they have no memory of adjusting to a sibling, so the normal fears, frustrations and excitements are there for them. And of course, please pray for Nate and I that we will use wisdom, compassion, and mercy in dealing with all five of the children as they will be making the changes. Thanks so much.
