I am updating and filling in on our blog and this had been in draft mode for a year. Even though I posted it a year ago somewhere on FB, I wanted to add it to my blog.

Duane and I just had to do one of the hardest things we've ever done -- Tell a child that they weren't going back to their first family and then hold that child in our arms as they are completely heartbroken over a loss they never expected in their life. It shoots a pain into my spirit. How sad God must be for them to experience that pain. As I sit by their bed and pray over them I sense God's presence and I know there is hope and healing for their wounded hearts. God has for now, placed them in our care, to begin the healing process of supernatural love.
His love never fails. So, if you stumble across this post, I ask that you speak (pray) life, redemption, supernatural love, joy, forgiveness, and acceptance over T. and E. And wisdom and love over Duane and I as we interim parent.
UPDATE: JULY 26,2015
The girls were with us for 4 months and we saw so much progress in their hearts. We were so happy when some good friends of ours decided to proceed to adopt them. They live in our same city! They are doing so well and fit right in with their new family. We are so happy to see them every now and then and love seeing them thrive!
Welcome to the Carter blog. There once were 5 of us, then we grew to 11, then 14 for a short period and now are about to be 12. Some may say we are actually ONE EGG SHORT OF A DOZEN for choosing to have a large family. We hurt and cry and sometimes yell but then again we laugh, forgive, and have fun much more! We call ourselves FAMILY. Join us on the adventures we seem to fall into on our adoption journeys and family life. You never know what you will find!
