I am never sure how much I should share here as there are many families waiting to adopt that might get the "Is that mine?" idea. So please, be patient!!!
I got a phone call yesterday from our foster agency social worker (SW) asking if she could give my number to gov't sw about adoption......um.....YES!!!
So, this AM I get a phone call "can you come with me at 10:45am to visit a mom consider adoption?" yup....dh decided to drive as this place was in a village about 20-30min away by car. He didn't want his 37weeks+ preggo wife on a scooter going over mountain roads......gee.....why not!!!
Had a good talk with the social worker about things and our work. She was happy to hear of this. Anyway, we got there at one house, no signs of anyone there. So we go down the mountain to her house. A man, who I am not sure was sober, opened the door. No, she isn't here. She's over at such and such a village.
Great, she won't answer phones, took baby with her and all. SW said she knew about us coming though. Ah, the joys of this work.
Anyway, we'll try next week. Mom is 27yr old, not married. Bio father is in another county working. He sends her about $90US/month to live on....oh, she has a first grader as well...............never a dull moment.
So, please continue praying that we can visit this mom and talk with her about her options and what's best for the baby. It was her decision or opinion to give baby up for adoption, so pray that she goes through.
Thanks
