We are Officially Parents!

Hello Everyone!  We had court today and have been approved to adopt our two wonderful boys.  It was truly an awesome day.  We will post more as we wait out the ten days, then pictures when the ten days are up.  For now, thank you to so many of you for your prayers!  To God be the glory!

Congratulations!!! I have been wondering when your court was since we have not had time to check the other blogs. But I cant even imagine how excited you both are. I've been watching your blog, waiting for updates. You have really had a long wait. Praise the Lord the waiting is over and now time with you boys!

We're so happy for you and welcome the boys into the Bielefeldt lineage! Who would've ever imagined we'd have Russian blood in our line one day? We pray for a happy reunion of the two boys and for the beginning of your lives together. Can't wait to meet them!
