We were shocked to receive a phone call from Mary this evening with our referral! We've been on the phone all evening with family sharing information and pictures of three beautiful children that stole our hearts with the first picture. Yes, three. Two sweet twin girls who recently turned seven and their four year old little brother.
Dustin and I have said many times that had we started this journey thinking we would adopt three children, we never would have had the nerve to start. God has given all of this to us in baby steps and we feel His love and care in matching these three children with our family. We are humbled at the thought of becoming their parents.
They have the sweetest smiles and our little guy has big, beautiful brown eyes. They are precious. Simply precious.

Woo Hoo!!!! Aunt Shelley shared the picture with me. They are precious. How lucky you are! How lucky they are! Thank you God for families.
All I wanted to do when I read this was offer praise to the Lord. We are SO excited for your family and for these children who will soon be part of OUR family. Before they were formed in the womb, God knew them, knew their path and knew they would become a part of the Snow family.
Keep us informed of everything so we can pray specifically for your needs.
Love,
Cord, Sheila, Holly and Heath

Congratulations! Can't tell you how excited we are. Austin & Autumn were immediately texting their friends telling them about their soon to be new cousins. Afton & Aaron want to know how much longer before they're here. Aunt Shelley & Uncle Kerry can't wait to welcome them to the family. May God make the next few months go quickly and smoothly for you guys.
congratulations!!!
Congratulations!!!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
I think a huge part of our pretty easy adjustment was that we had twins. They are best friends and they really never felt alone, so grieving has been almost non-existent so far. Of course, I am not naive, I know there will be seasons of it.
Anyways, just thrilled for your family.
God is good.
Praise God! I am so excited for you all. I can't wait to meet them when they come home.
Praying your adoption is final quickly.
Thanks for sharing the news.
Bless you for adopting these three siblings! I'm so excited for you and for them! I'd love to see the picture you received of our Diborah and one of your twins!!
