Well, upon receiving the LOAs we needed to fill out paper work for immigration. This meant that we needed to fill in the blanks for Annabelle and Timothy's new names.... their full names. So, we chose...
Annabelle Hope
and
Timothy Justice.
Annabelle Hope: Annabelle means grace and beauty. Hope means trust and faith.
Chris and I chose the name Annabelle before we ever saw our precious daughter's face. We knew she would be brought to us by God's grace, and we knew she would be beautiful. We pray that she will grow in God's grace and true beauty. Throughout this process our hope in Him has grown. We've learned to trust Him more. We've seen hope and faith grow in others as they have listened to and seen how God has worked in specific ways in our journey. We are blessed to be used by Him.
Timothy Justice: Timothy means to honor God. Justice means fair, just- guided by truth.
We also chose the name Timothy before we saw our son's sweet face. We felt called to this journey and that by following it, whole heartedly, not knowing where it would lead, we were honoring God. We want and pray for him to be fair and just and for him to be guided by The TRUTH. Also, his initials will be TJK... the same as Chris' dad.
We know that this journey will be difficult for them at times. They will have questions about their pasts. We hope by choosing these names for them, they will one day understand how much they are loved, wanted and hoped for.
Blessings,
Bethany
