One or Two?

Thank you for all of your prayers!  Our second interview and the home inspection with our social worker went great...at least I thought it did!  I was very anxious about this interview and I am sooooo glad that is over!   We should have a rough draft of our home study by the end of the week!!! 
We have gone back and forth between adopting one child or two children since this began.  At first, we decided we would like two for a few different reasons.  One, because we wanted them to have a biological sibling, someone they looked like and connected with.  Two, because if we are going to go all the way to Africa and adopt a child, why not bring home two?  And three, because we have talked about having four children to complete our family so why not do the next two all at once.  Then we decided that we probably shouldn't do two for a few reasons as well.  One, because it was explained to us that sometime when you bring two children home that know each other, this can cause them to cling to each other instead of really connecting to your family.  Two, because it costs more money to adopt two children. Three, can we do this?  Bringing home a child from a different country and integrating them into our family is going to be very difficult, can we handle doubling the size of our family on top of that? And four, because, lets face it, two is exponentially harder than one.  When I was pregnant with Eli, I really assumed that having two children would be twice as much work as having one.  I think I was very wrong!  Having two children is much, much more difficult than having one...at least for me.  Along with that, two is twice the laughs, twice the hugs and exponentially more joy!  Having said all of that, now it has come to the time where we have to put down on paper our requests...do we want one child or two?  We know without a doubt that God will equip us to do what he is asking us to do so we are praying very hard for God's guidance in this and we would really appreciate it if you would join us.  Please pray that he will reveal his will to us and that he would make it very clear to us.

Trusting in Him,
