Introducing...

The soon to be

Julia Faye Emery...born April 5, 2006
Jameson Tyler Emery...born May 13, 2006

I'm sorry we cannot post pictures on the web but you are welcome to come over and see the pictures!
We are tentatively scheduled to return to Orenburg mid-March to finalize the adoption and bring them home!

Every person has a story that is unique to them. Our childrens stories are also unique and very personal, especially their time before us. Will will preserve that story until they decide what they want to do with it. We're sure you understand why we do not share those details.

Jameson is a peanut with strawberry blond hair and huge blue eyes. He is a ball of fire and is ready to explore the world. Dave called him "Irish" when we met him, so Jameson it is.
Julia is more reserved but so curious. I think she is dying to talk. She is teething and drooly and you can't help but cuddle her. She also has big eyes, grey/blue, and dark hair.
We are more than ready for this wait to be over and the new chapter of all of our lives to begin.
Thank you all for your messages and prayers up until now. You have no idea how great it feels to be so supported. Please keep them coming, it isn't over!
