It is rather a unique situation, we do have custody of the older two. I want to adopt them however it would be emotionally harder on them, this way they A and D know that I love them as much and am willing adopt them too. M and J have been with us for four months, our church had a welcome shower for M and J. My A and D made a beautiful Welcome Home sign for our little ones.

Yes I want the celebration to be like a wedding because in many ways A and D are adopting M and J too. When DH and I were married A was my Maid of Honor and D was DH Best Man, we had a unity candle for the four of us, it was an awesome moment.

I have already designed the invite to read M,T, A & D
Invite you to join them
in celebrating the adoption of:

M
and
J

I was thinking of a potluck to follow.

Yes! Thank you your ideas are wonderful and I appreciate all the input I can receive.

On a whole different note, there has been a number of posts on "Can This Child Be Saved". I have not read the book.
HoweverMany children even with the baggage they come with are saveable and proper training, open mind and heart, most of all God's intervention are the most effective tools. I have four children that all have individual special needs (according to the actual definition) All praise God are physically healthy and yet emotionally hurting. Yet they are wonderful (most days) loving and kind. They are learning.

Put yourself in this situation: Picture yourself going into a strangers home, being expected to cook dinner or even make coffee all according to that families likes.... Ouch.

Anyway, Thank you....

Blessings in Christ
