The Boys. (not pictured: Changlais & Schneider) Can't you see the resemblance? What a handsome boy (I am talking about Noah).Speaking of boys. You can read Melissa's blog for details but the short is, that Vanessa and D'Jounela are going to remain with their birth mother, and after seeking the Lords wisdom and guidance, we are moving forward with 2 brothers from the same orphanage. It has been a tough week, but we have been sustained by Gods love and grace. Without it we would be crushed with sorrow. It doesn't mean we don't mourn, but it means we mourn with the knowledge that God's grace is sufficient for us. 2 Cor 12:9 NIV "But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness". Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." Also He sees the future like we see the past, as if it had already happened. So his sovereign plan is in motion and we desire to be in his will. Another great verse is Romans 8:28 NASB. You should know this one by heart if you have read my blog before because I quote it often. To God be the Glory and honor for ever and ever.

Hi Chris,
What a beautiful post! We are so sorry for your loss and we will never forget them. They will never forget your love and kindness ether. You guys are such wonderful examples to us.
We bet Noah(along with the rest of your gang) is thrilled...not just one but two sweet brothers! They will have such fun growing up together. What a blessing! We are so excited for you and Melissa to embrace your boys in June and just be together!
It was a year before we were finally able to hold Abie, Djoé and Jordan in our arms. The love and bounding started immediately the day the Lord told us they were to join our family and by the time we held them in our arms 12 months later that love had grown so much. We are very happy for you guys! You all are in our thoughts and prayers. ~ Pete and Marilee
