I've shared this here before but I don't mind sharing again.
Jacob was born the exact same minute of the day as my dh - 11:40 pm on the dot!
He was also born on Feb 18 and Celeste was born Dec 18... my high school volleyball uniform number was #18, dh had our first date on July 18, 1996, we were engaged on Oct 18, 1997, if you add my dob together you get 18, and if you add dh's dob together you get 18!! On New Year's Eve - just 9 days after we got Celeste's referral, we went to play pool with some friends and when we got there, the table that was reserved for us? Table #18 of course!
Other fun "coinky-dinks"...
Although we used different agencies, Jacob and Celeste were born only 30 miles apart!Their baby pictures look so similar, it is eerie! We have pics of Jacob as an infant and we've had quite a few people ask if it is Celeste! The two of them have bio-siblings, but they look more like each other than either of them look like their bio-sibs!
Jacob was born in February - the same month as my dh's sister and his dad... Celeste was born in December - the same month as MY sister and MY dad!
Jacob's Embassy appt was on Nov 7th, Celeste's was June 7th...
Celeste came home during the month of June - which was the month that her brother was featured on the Guatadopt.com calendar!
And their personalities fit so well into our family that I can't imagine having any other children besides these two!
I think that God gives us little signs to remind us that these children are meant to be ours. I mention the "coincidences" although I don't think they are just chance things - I believe they are all little "love notes" from God, reminding us that He planned for them to be our children from the very beginning.
