Last July, while Lisa’s parents and Lisa’s sister’s three grandchildren (figure that one out) were spending a month in the Midwest on summer vacation with us, the children’s father died. Their mother and father were divorced and the mother was out of the picture due to addiction issues. So the family, Lisa and I all agreed that Lisa and I would be the best ones to adopt the three children.
The children were already ward’s of the state because of all the problems the family was having. So Lisa and I went to the State Of New Mexico to formally petition the state to adopt the children. Yesterday it was finally decided that we would be adopting them. Their names are Zech (10) Alex (8) and Ila (5) they are currently living in Albuquerque with Lisa’s parents and will move to Omaha once school is over in May.
Lisa and I are very excited about this. As many of you know I have never had kids and I am looking forward to being a father. Lisa says “Great now I will have four kids and two gigantic dogs to look after” 
The more I think about this the more I realize that Children are a blessing from God.
Congratulations!
What an incredible and loving thing to do. 
I’ll be praying for you as you all adjust to your new family life!
