I hope everyone is doing well. It has been some time since I wrote anything but I just wanted to catch you up on the latest. The three girls have been with us now for 1 1/2 years. Yes it is amazing how time flies. Looking back I can remember being so scared going into uncharted territories for us as a family. We had already adopted two children the year before and I can remember just praying that we did the right thing. Taking on 2 little ones plus an almost 14 year old girl was scary!! You hear horror stories and pray your family would not be added to the statics. However the Lord covered us and he is forever our life line and our comforter when things arn't so pretty.
Miss J asked us last year after spending 6 weeks in public school if I can home school her on Connections Academy. At that time I was already homeschooling my two boys. So Miss J and Alicia decided to drop out of the public school and stay home and do Connections. That was a very pivotal moment. It took the drama out of the everyday life at school and both of them were able to work on past stuff and both of them became stronger people and their relationship with the Lord exploded into something beautiful.
This year both older girls have decided that they do want to try to go back to public school. I am very nervous however I do believe their faith and their morals will shine through and they will do fine. I will continue to home school my two boys. The two little one will attend the elementary school here.
Both parents rights have been terminated so they are all legally free. Things are moving along and its picking up speed. Now that this is our second adoption I am catching on to how things work. At first it seems so slow!! Poky poky slow!! Its almost like a roller coaster as its climbing the hill before your about to crest the top. Once it gets to the top its off and running. You just need to hang on!
