I am asking friends and family to please pray for us today!! I cannot give details however it is regarding these new children. This day could be the day that could change all of our lives FOREVER!!
I am trying to keep you updated as we go along. Today it involves parental rights and whether these kids will be come legally free for adoption. Just another step in this long journey but every step is crucial to how this story will end.
Yesterday was Wednesday and one of our church nights. Both little girls are sick so I stayed home. In away I was hoping the Miss J would stay home and keep me company but thought that was very selfish of me. I was thinking this was an opportunity for us to talk alone while everyone else gone. My husband looked and Miss J and asked "would you like to stay here or go to church"? She looked at him and said "Church?" Oops I guess we kinda messed up and didn't let her know we go to church every Wednesday. She replied with "I'll stay here I guess". I was shocked that my hubby read my mind. She stayed at the house with me and we talked for the entire time they were gone to church! I loved it!!
I will say this girl is a trooper. She has been through so much but yet she is still is only 13 years old but still she is a beautiful person inside and out! I told her we are honored that she wants to stay with us. She has so much potential and will go so far in her life. I am praising the Lord that I will be able to watch her as she blossoms into a beautiful flower.
Ya know, going into foster care and adoption my worst fear was getting a rebllious teenager that we cannot control. The Lord has spared us in both of our adoption and foster care experience.
As our story unfolds I hope that you all will stay tuned and enjoy these beautiful lives with me. As I write it is almost like a journal for me to remember back to the first days we got them.
Are any of you in the process of adoption or foster care? Let me know.
