TRIAL part II

The birth parents had their completed trial today. We just heard about 2 hours ago or so that both of the boys' parents' rights were terminated. That was very heavy to hear. Even though it was the news we wanted to hear, it did not get past us easily. This was a mother who really did want her children and loved them but there was not the evidence to support the actions to show that love. We will be keeping her in prayer for always, knowing that God can rescue anyone from any place.

I will try to post more on this later. Just wanted to make sure for those of you praying, thank you! Without telling all of the details, this is a miracle of God! Each step of the way has been a series of little miracles! It's been amazing to look back (which I did today). I just couldn't pray anymore after most of the afternoon had gone by, so I decided to write down all the things that were not supposed to happen...starting with our home study only taking 2 1/2 months! Well, each step that I wrote down has gone against all the "norms" for this kind of adoption. So, today is just another step, another miracle!

I don't really have any spare moments in the day anymore, so this is short and I have to get back to the helping Shiloh getting the boys in bed. :)

Today the verse that was sitting on the counter for me to read was:
John 16.23 "Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you."

It is sweet that you will be praying for the boy's mother. I can't imagine being in her shoes, however, God's grace does shine in difficult situations too! I am sooooo happy for you guys! Those boys are so blessed to have you and Shiloh as parents and to have FIVE beautiful sisiters!

Good to hear - both that their rights were terminated and that you are praying for her. We're praying for you all as you make this adjustment.

So happy to hear that your news was good! We have been praying and realize that both sides of it must be difficult - you & Shiloh both have amazing hearts and we are just so proud for you ALL!!! We will continue to pray and hope to hear that all continues well for your new additions.
