Friends, we wanted to share an exciting update and ask for prayer. We have been informed that our birth mother will be having a c-section THIS WEEK! Our beautiful, brave and precious birth mother will be welcoming her/our son on Thursday, November 30th. We're just a few days from growing our family and meeting our son....and we can hardly stand it!!!
Please join us in prayer over these next few days. Please pray for: 1) Our birth mother - her health, the delivery, and her heart and mind during this decision process. 2) Her family - that they'd support and love her through this decision and that trust and a healthy relationship would continue to develop during our time together at the hospital. 3) Lena - her transition to BIG SISTER and all that will come with this MAJOR CHANGE when we return home. 4) Josh and me - that we'd leave our expectations, pride, and whatever else (I/Jill) might bring; That we'd simply love everyone we meet and bring joy and happiness with us in our attitude and words. The days ahead will be very emotional and we're asking the Lord to lead and guide our words and actions and that He'd be glorified in all that is said and done surrounding our birth mother and baby boy. We're praying for holy and healing moments with our birth family.
Thank you friends! We covet your prayers and support. Thank you to those who've given to our adoption fund. We're grateful for your financial support...it's made it possible for us to adopt again and we're so, so, so thankful.
We'll update as we're able, but give us grace as we journey this coming week and adjust to a family of four (Lord willing!) in the coming days.
