Hey everyone,
We just wanted everyone to know that we have been chosen buy a birth mom to take her little baby girl! She is due to be born August 3oth. She is 1/4 Caucasian, 1/4 Japanese and 1/2 African American. We are so excited to finally get our little baby that we have been praying for, for so long.
A couple of prayer requests; one is just that she is healthy because her birth mom has been doing some drugs while pregnant, mainly cocaine. She has quit on June 1st but we are still praying that she was protected to all she was exposed to in the womb. Another prayer request is that the birth mom does not change her mind; her name is Danielle if you want to pray for her by name. She is going to have a tough 48 hours with her, but once she signs at discharge from the hospital her rights are terminated.
Some more great news is that we have raised $16,000. Praise the Lord!! Everyone has been so generous and has blessed us in more ways than one. We still have a little more then $3,000 to raise but we are not worried at all that the Lord won't provide. He has been in this whole process with us.
We have had some heart ache in this process and times of anxiety, but God has taught us patience and how we have to trust Him or we will go crazy with worry. We are excited to meet the newest edition to our family and the girls are so excited to have a "little, little baby sister" like Jada says.
We love you all and thank you so much for all the prayers that were laid at the Fathers feet on our behalf. You guys are amazing.
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything."
1 John 3:18-20
