| Alison signing the acceptance letter |
On Wednesday morning, November 3, we signed and sent in our referral acceptance for two cutie-patootie young boys! And just like that....we are new parents! A family of EIGHT! How amazing is that? God gave us a special little treat the next day as we left the hotel where we were staying for hubby's work conference. Our shuttle bus driver was a very friendly man from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia! We got to share our good news with him, get his insights about his country, and learn how to pronounce our older son's name! :o) It is a bit awkward to have a son whose name you can't pronounce! So, with that blessing, we hopped on the shuttle bus, hopped on the plane, and eventually made it home to our wonderful kids last night. When we got home we were greeted with another blessing - we found that some dear friends had been to our house to decorate and place balloons, congratulation signs, and a bag of boy gifts on our front patio! What a fun homecoming. We are blessed, and we rejoice today as a family.

We modeled some of these boy toys and decided a new era in the Grant life had begun- toys of this nature have never before been seen in our home!   A fun surprise- our friends had decorated our fence and front porch to celebrate our referral acceptance! God is good! |
That's so exciting about the new additions to your family!! And to have the driver be from Ethiopia... that's a love note from God! So happy for you guys!
