Fost Adopt Update



We got a call today from our matcher. She let me know that she submitted our names to be considered to take the 2 boys I heard about. It is not in LA County so they do these adoptions different so they need to chose us. (The Agency, not the birth mom.) We will find out after that. The meeting is July 10. (They pick 2 families in case one says no.)


I am going to be kind of general in the details but here are some:


The birthmom is 17 and in the foster care system herself. (This is good in the fact that she won't have any relatives trying to get the baby.)


The birthdad (same for both boys) has already had his rights terminated in court.


The boys are 26 months and 7 months old. They are pretty much on track where they need to be. They both have asthma and exema (Spelling wrong). One is getting tested for allergies. One is potty trained (YEAH!!!!!!) and the other one sleeps through the night until 4am.


The birth mom has waivered between wanting the kids and not. She just gets visits and they haven't went well. The boys are in a foster home right now.


I would like you to pray that if these kids are not meant to be ours then we won't get picked. I want the right child/children for our family not just any children. It would be a clear sign from the Lord if we weren't picked. If we are, then we will find out more info. and have big decisions to make. Please pray for us.


Our matcher said that she is going to stop actively looking for a child for us until we hear about the boys....unless the perfect one comes along...here we go!

Praying for you and excited to see how the Lord will work in this. I was blessed at Bible study the other night at your willingness to just give this whole thing to the Lord. I am sure He will bless you for that!!
