Its been so crazy how all the sudden our family of 3 turned into a family of 5. We have been trying to adopt for about a year through A Act Of Love adoption agency. We were havin some problems with them because we were only showed really expensive cases. So we set up a appointment with the owner and our case worker to talk about how we felt, the apt. was set for Tues. the 22nd. I was on the verge of giving up. I was at work talking to Margret Tues. morning about my frustration and she said there was a customer names Stacy that adopted and it only took her 2 months. Funny thing is later that day she happen top come into the store and I was able to talk to her. She gave me the name of the owner of the adoption agency she went through, her name was Jane, Stacy wanted me to at lest call her. We had the meeting and homestly I didn't feel too much better.
So Wed. morning off to work I went. I got a call from Stacy telling me I needed to call Jane and I needed to call her soon. I talked to Jane at about 2:00pm on Wed. the 23rd, she said they had a situation were there was twin boys in Arizona and wanted to know if we were intrested. Of course I quickly got emotional but didn't want to get my hopes up, so we continued to talk about the situation and everything that would need to happen. Since we were going to have to switch adoption agencies I had alot of questions including what would happen if the mom choose a diffrent family, which so far is all that i have ever been told. She very bluntly said Emily I think all things happen for a reason and if you tell me you want these boys they are yours for sure!!!!! I broke into tears and just then Rob walked in to my store. he had the same concerns so when i told him they for sure would be ours we got busy on paper work.
The next morning me, Rob & my mom were on a plane to Phoenix, Arizona to pick up our twin baby boys. I spent a total of 19 days there beacuse they were premie so they had to stay in the hospital. Rob went home but came and visited on the weekends. It felt like I was there forever and it was so hot and so humid there was even big monsoons.
But now we are all home and loving our new family!!!! It's a crazy story and it's been a busy road here but well worth it. We named them Brody Leon and Landon David.
