Finally brave enough to post a picture of the twins

This is one taken when we visited in mid February. They love to be next to eachother. They play with eachothers fists (taking turns chewing on the ball -o-fists). They hold hands all night long.

I've heard alot of people say that they instantly fell in love as soon as they recieved their referral pictures. I guess I was trying to safe guard my heart - because I didn't feel that way at first. Well, I managed to stay a little bit detached until about 25 minutes into our visit! Now, I'm head over heels and getting more and more impatient by the day!

Although adoption journeys can be difficult, I've been amazed at miracles - some big and others small - we feel so very blessed!

Talking Finally brave enough to post a picture of the twins

They are adorable! I love how they are cuddling up to each other in the pic. My sister has twin boys and they keep you busy but are so much fun! Congratulations on your sweet little boys.

Talking Twins are twice as nice

Your boys are beautiful. I know exactly how you feel about trying to stay detached. Hoping your process goes smoothly with no need for detachment. Twins are an adventure ,I'm speaking personally here. Our adventure began last September and continues to grow each and every day.

Aren't they the cutest! Already best friends! What a double blessing they are!
Can you imagine two 16 year old boys getting their drivers licenses at the same time! LOL Think of the gray hair!My dh and I are considering begining another adoption right away so our children would not be far apart in age. We are leaning toward another girl. I asked him if he was ready for so many female hormones in one house!!
Joking aside, you have a couple of sweet little guys and I know that they will fill your home with joy! (and car noises!)

My hubby is a twin (identical) and says that it's true that twins have a special bond. I think your picture is proof positive. You have a lot of special moments in store for you!
