Update and Prayer Request


Adoption Update: We are three weeks away from having our baby boy in our arms and we couldn't be more thrilled. We have hung out with the birthmom and her son just under a handful of times and love it. We feel very blessed to know them and treasure our new relationship. It's evident God is always with us when we are all together. Baby boy is looking great and feeling him change and move in the womb is an amazing thing. We are so thankful right now.

Prayer Request: Here's where we need you! Nate and I are strong advocates of prayer. It may not always be answered when we want or how we want, but it's always answered. We understand God is in control and His plan is perfect, but He commands us to ask for our wants through prayer. Therefore, the prayer request is that the birthfather doesn't fight custody. He has threatened to do so and his personality involves being in control. He has until 11:59 P.M. on Wednesday to get a lawyer. If he does so, our rights are gone and Bethany Christian Services will turn down this adoption. If he does not, then ALL his rights are TERMINATED FOREVER. I know it's going to be a long three days, but God is in control. We love Him so much and trust that He will provide. Please pray. Hopefully the next adoption post will be on Thursday with the title... "PRAISE, TERMINATED". Thank you for taking time to read this and praying for us. We appreciate and love you all.

"If you believe, you will recieve whatever you ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:22

Such a emotional thing to go through, for both sides. So glad that you have turned this situation into God's hands and believe that he knows what is best. Prayers will be your comfort, for God already knows the outcome. Wonderful that so many are interested in this small little baby boy. Our prayers are with you.

Praying that you get some peace (and sleep!) in the next few days of waiting. It must be agonizing, but remember that you have lots of people who love you and are here for you!!

Praying for God's will to be done. I'm sure this is a nerve-wrecking time. Praying that God would give you peace and patience today :)
