Our friends are coming to visit!

Just got a telephone call from our friends who live in Texas, letting us know that they are all on Spring Break next week (both of them teach) and they have decided to come in tomorrow and camp on nearby Lake DeGray for the entire week! Mike and I haven't seen them since July of last year, and it's been even longer than that for the girls since they didn't get to go to Dallas over 4th of July weekend, so we're really excited about it. They have two teenaged boys of their own. After their third son passed away from a rare chromosomal disease back in 1997, they chose not to have any more because both carried this rare gene, and they feared passing it on again. They started doing foster care to fill the void, and soon adopted Isaac. Then a couple of years ago, they got the call asking if they would take Isaac's little brother as well. With a huge house and a heart full of love, they jumped at the chance. Soon after that came another little boy, and then in November, they got previously unwanted child #6. It's amazing to see how these young boys come in with serious emotional issues and their lives in chaos and then go back a year later to see these stable, well adjusted children who for the first time in their young lives know that they are loved and wanted. Do you know a child that has been impacted positively by adoption? Tell their story here!
