Hi again

Baby A....... keep praying his adoption goes smoothly.......we are probably a little over half way

Again, it has been awhile. I have been so busy and recently under the weather. I have had some headaches, either due to stress or due to the weather.

This was on my desk the other day......not my idea of an assistant! Though if he can translate and type well.....maybe!!LOL!

Let's see:
***Momma J's funds are just about there. We were given funds from a wonderful artist who is raising money for us. We haven't put that in our little badgy thing there. Momma J is due with a baby boy Nov. 15, but will need a c/section. She will probably have baby first week of November. She just turned 20yr old, so she can legally sign papers herself.
***After some interesting situations, H family's baby was moved closer to us. He is doing well. You can check out Sarah and David's blog to the left. Baby Josiah is a great baby (great in disposition and size!!LOL!)
***We are still asking you for prayers in another families situation. USA immigration rules for orphans are, well, annoying to say the least. This family has a sibling group they are wanting to adopt, the parents want them to adopt, but because there are two parents, though legally divorced, they can't. Please pray we can get some gov't officials in our area to have a soft heart.
*** We are still working on registering. Some things have slowed us down, but our fire is still burning. It breaks my heart to get phone calls from gov't social workers saying "are you all registered yet? we have a kid"...........AHHHHHHHH!!! there is NO rule that gov't social services cannot go through private independent adoptions, none at all, just something they prefer to stay away from. So please pray we get things moving.
*** Please pray for us as we minsiter to those who are in great need. As I talked with one mom who just gave her baby, she just wants to talk. She came to see her baby, who is a month old and in care and ready for adoption. It was hard to see her struggle when he started crying. I was trying to imagine what she is going through, and well, I can't understand. I know when the thought of my baby being in someone else's arms goes through my mind, my heart aches. This mom, she showed some emotion, but not a tear when she was visiting or when she left. We met at our church, a neutral point. She said tht now that she is looking for a job, she won't be thinking so much of baby. But I wonder...............how emotionally hard she was towards this from the beginning? If her neighbors asked if she was pregnant, thus the belly..........No,just gained alot of weight. She was made to keep it a secret, made to stay home except for dr's visits. If baby came home, she'd have to move out...............so, how emotionally detached was she? I have just been wondering this. But she definetly needs prayers. At least she knows she can trust us. God is planting seeds!!
Keep praying.
