Well, we had not heard anything until.......On Sunday, I told 2 friends to pray that the social worker would call me with news. I haven't really "bugged" her. I was about to though. :) Instead I asked some of my friends who are adoptive parents , to pray. I imagine they did. Then, on Tuesday I got an "out of area" call....I had enough hope to answer it (since the state calls are blocked) and it was Sandy---our social worker in the next step of this process)......but the latest is.......the
same.....2 boys are still available. We are just waiting to hear on our meeting time with the 8!!!! social workers that have to be there at the first meeting. I guess it's 4 social workers and each of their supervisors. We meet for about an hour to just get to hear a little more about the boys. We can't know everything but we get to go home and decide if we would like to proceed with them. If we do, then it's starts the whole procedure. We would get what's called Full Disclosure. We would be able to read their files and hear about all their disabilities, past history, etc.... So, please pray that the decision would be clear. We need to know if these are the boys that God has chosen for us. Practically speaking, we need to see if we can add their needs into our family. We want to take care of boys who no longer have a family and maybe these are them. It's hard not to get too excited!! However.....even if we get them, we start the process and God allows them to be taken from us....I KNOW He has a good plan. I know He will take care of them and of us! We are confident in this.
I Corinthians 13.7-8 Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen.
Please pray for the boys, for our meeting to get scheduled and for the choice to be clear (for a yes or a no).
