Trevor and I were made aware of something only three days ago that totally took us by surprise. It is not important to the story how we learned of this sitaution but it is most assuredly factual. Please understand that we do not wish to divulge our source.

Much to our shock Elijah and Nick WERE in the same orphanage when Elijah was adopted! In fact, Nick was brought into the room where Elijah was with the family who initally adopted him and Nick was told by the staff that Elijah was being adopted. At that time Nick was not quite five years of age. Elijah was eighteen months old. Nick was not adoptable at that time due to his illness. So, there was no choice by the other family than to leave him behind. We fault no one for this but nonetheless it has really torn at our hearts, knowing these two brothers actually were together. It is not as before when we would tell people that they had never met. We do not know if Elijah has any recollection of Nick but we are pretty sure that Nick more than likely does remember. I cannot begin to imagine what he was feeling when his brother was taken from him. All we can do is press on and keep praying that God will bring Nick home soon so these two brothers can be reunited and remain together always.
