Guys, I’ve tried to write something articulate and moving
with a little dash of humor, but I just don’t have the brain power. Here are
the facts.
On Tuesday of last week, our caseworker called to tell us that
another birth mother has chosen us. We met her and her two children on Saturday
morning, and we are moving forward with the adoption. Birth mom will have a
scheduled c-section next Tuesday morning. Which means that one week from today,
we are back in the hospital. The baby is a girl, and she is part Anglo/part
Japanese.
I can tell you that we are having a hard time feeling
excited. We are still mourning Ruby, and we know the reality of leaving a baby
behind. The thought of going through it again makes me a little sick to my
stomach. But the fact is: this is where the Lord is leading, so this is where
we are going. One foot in front of the other – trying desperately to fix our eyes
on Jesus. ‘Cause focusing on anything else right now is proving to be
difficult. I know we’ve asked you to pray a lot, but we could use a few more if
you’ve got ‘em.
Love y'all.
