and we're almost there...almost there.

   So we started this journey officially last April. There were Home Study interrogations  interviews. There were mounds and mounds of forms. There were federal police clearances. There were classes to take, papers to be notarized, books to be read, and on and on and on. Then on a Wednesday night there was a "transition plan" call that rocked our world, and set us clearly on the path to the twin baby girls He had chosen to be a part of our family. It didn't seem to matter that they were just brought up casually in that conversation. It didn't deter us one bit that we were told there would more than likely be NO WAY that their paper work would be done in time for our referral. Then on that blessed day in December we receive the call we had been waiting on for so long.... "Mr. Wiginton... you know those twin girls that I mentioned back on your conference call? They are ready for referral, and we need to know if you guys are open to adopting twins." ARE WE OPEN TO ADOPTING TWINS??? Ummm, let us pray about that ;)

And then came these.....

Be still my heart....

and then today after months of waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more.... We get the email we have been waiting on. The girls birth parent interview is scheduled for this coming Monday at 1:00pm (that would be around 5 a.m. here)! This is the last step for us in getting cleared by the Embassy and getting our appointment to go get our girls! We are sooo excited and so covet your prayers that the interview will go well for their birth mom, and that the Embassy gets all the information they need to clear us to come get them. We will update as soon as we hear something from the interview!

    1. Oh... awesome! I just caught up on your story via your blog. Praying He will bless you with exactly what is His best no matter what the chances of a sibling group look like. We've learned first hand that He can, and will move mountains (and lots of paperwork at a very rapid rate:) to accomplish His will in your life. Thank you so very much for your prayers.
