Another sibling?

For Hope and Faith--

We got a call the other day and another call yesterday.  There is a remote chance that not too long after you join our family, we may have another child or two join our family.  One of the children, the one we got a call about, will be a baby.  We do not know if the baby will be a little brother or sister, but if the baby comes to join our family, it will probably be in early fall.  We are over-the-moon at the thought of having all of you in our home within less than a year.  God is so good!

We know that you will love the baby and your other siblings, and we want you to know that this will not take anything away from you.  We look so forward to having you both in our home and plan to spend at least a few weeks with just you two before any other siblings come.  Of course, you may also have an older brother (he is 10--will be 11--and lives in South Carolina) before we go to Disney World.  There is a chance that there could be 7-8 of us going for our family trip!  We will all have matching shirts for at least one day, and we are already looking for the stroller we will use.  We will be at Disney during my birthday, and this will probably be right before your adoption is final--it will be a celebration of our family growing!  We have already started buying you both clothes to wear on the trip, for our family photo that we plan to have taken there, and for just every day!  I want to take you both for a princess dinner in Cinderella's Castle (along with your older sister if she goes with us) on one of the days.  Daddy and your brothers can hang out then.  I cannot wait to share all that Disney World has to offer with you both!

We have so many plans of things to do with you both together, individually, and as a Family this summer.  In addition to Disney, we will also go to a family church camp, go stay in Florida and help with the youth mission trip, go to the beach, and take a family trip somewhere--either out west or somewhere else.  We will have a party to celebrate when you become ours forever.  We will also dedicate you at church to God and take a vow to always support your spiritual, physical, emotional, and relational needs.  I've already been looking for special dresses for you to wear for this day.

We are so excited to meet you and for you to join our Family, and we can hardly believe that could happen in less than a month!  So many people have been praying for you both.  We hope you feel the love.

Love always and forever,
Mommy
