Where did Marek Joel come from?

Many of our friends have asked about how we came up with the name Marek Joel for our little angel.  Well, it goes back to a dream that April had when we first were married.  First of all, April NEVER remembers any of her dreams so when she woke up in the morning vividly remembering her dream, we knew something was different!  haha  Anyways, in this dream that April had, she and I had adopted a little boy from Africa and we named him Marek Joel.  So the next morning when she woke up and told me about the dream, we decided to look up what the meaning of these names meant.  Marek means "rescued from a desperate situation" and Joel means "righteous man; the Lord is God."  After reading this definition, we knew that God had given us this name through a dream.  Such a relief to let God name your children...one less thing for us to do!  haha
