As usual, time has gotten away from us and we haven't had much of a chance to update all of you! My mom has had a big surgery recently, but is home and recovering well! We appreciate all of your prayers concerning my mom's health! Praise God that all has gone well for her!
On the adoption front, not too much has changed. We have heard of a few stories from different people that have given out our cards...but nothing has materialized yet! It is all in God's timing, and we are ok with that! One story that we heard recently is about 2 different infants that are in foster care. We have been in contact with social services and are hoping that we can open up another door! However, there are risks that come with that avenue...usually mom/dad still have their parental rights. They have hoops to jump through to get their children back before their rights are legally taken away. So, our worst nightmare is taking in and loving a child; only to have mom/dad take that baby back. I think it is a gift that some have when they take child into their homes and their lives through foster care! God surely blesses them! However, for us, that is a heartache that adds to previous heartaches. We are trying to find that balance of putting ourselves out there, but the guard that we have up steers us away from certain avenues.
Please keep spreading the word, and let us know if you need more cards! We also love hearing stories from you regarding our cards and who you have handed them too! Thank you so much for all of your support...one day we will have exciting news to share with you all!
