It's only been 1 yr. and 4 months since Jack and I got married, but we have two little girls! The identical twins were born in early June. Their names are Adelaide Faith and Amber Cadence. For both of the girls, we just used names that we liked. Addy and Amber have the most adorable little faces. They are two weeks old yesterday. As of yet, they have no measurable hair, but they do have the prettiest green eyes I've ever seen. Having identical babies is sometimes difficult, but we've taken to putting them in personalized clothes in public, and writing their names on masking tape at home (we stick the masking tape to the back of whatever outfit they're wearing). Jack and I have quickly learned that parenting isn't as easy as our respective parents made it look. Due to a budget cut, I was laid off just before I found out I was pregnant. It wasn't long before I found a position in international adoptions that was open in our area. I applied for the job and, to my suprise, was offered the position within a week! The pay is nearly twice what it was before. Because the twins were due in June, and Jack had off from teaching for the summer, I decided to take the job for a year or so and see how it went. I love working there! From Russia alone I've been able to place 7 children, and I've placed more from around the world. I love doing what I do, and can't wait to adopt a little boy or girl from Russia when we can save up enough money.
