immeasurably more

We thought international adoption, God directed us to foster care. We followed.

We wondered, "is this our forever son?" God said, "No, not this one." He went home. We grieved.

We said, "Never again, this is too hard!" God said, "I am not finished." We said "yes" again.

We were told, "This one cannot be yours." God said, "She will be yours forever." We rejoiced.

We said, "Wonderful, we're complete!" God said, "There is more to come." We said "yes" again.

We thought one adoption would be perfect. God has said, "two". His ways are perfect.

"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine..." Ephesians 3:20

Yeah, but when you were a little, little girl yourself, you told me that you were going to have EIGHT children and name then all Rochelle, Rochelle, Rochelle, Rochelle, Rochelle, Rochelle, Rochelle, Rochelle. :)
So it sounds like you're not quite done yet!
