One More Time, More Opportunity for Growth

Court did not work in our favor today. MO*A ruled in our favor, yay. But the birth mother's picture ID was not available. This is not good. It's not awful, either. We pray the new ID is in by next week, when our case would reappear before the judge. In the meantime, we are moving forward with our plans to travel on the 20th of March. Risky or not, our hearts are in ET; and we are determined to move forward. God has granted us peace in the midst of this set back. Pray we remain securely planted in His goodness as the reality of not having legal custody of our son sets into our hearts. We will wait for one more opportunity for our case to move before the courts.

Today is the Day

I can't move right now. I'm stuck by the computer. I'm sitting by the phone. I'm anticipating the call, while I stare at my sweet boy. Hoping, praying, trusting, believing that he's not just ours by love but also by law. It's time. He belongs. Our love has taken him in. Please, Lord, one last prayer before your throne; please, make him ours. Last night our case went before the federal courts for a second time...today is the day he should be ours. We are waiting to know.
