road block

Road block.
pbm (potential birth mother) moved to NY this past week.
Now this is 3rd hand information, being passed on through a language barrier. Making it hard to rely on anything that is said apparently. All I know is that the friend who is "mediating" for us, is trustworthy and would never lead us on like this. So we are going to take it a day at a time, and see where God leads us in this particular journey.

She wanted to get away from this town if she was going to place her baby with us, here. My mom (friend of friend) let friend (mediator) know that we would come to NY to pick the baby up. She also wanted to get away from pbd. (potential birth dad). Not sure how that's going to work as far as papers being signed. He has more rights than we do, but not sure about his "fitness" as a father. We may fight it. We'll see.

Maybe this isn't where God is leading us.
When we felt God's calling on our life to adopt, and build our family that way, we decided that because it is ALWAYS pleasing to God to take care of the orphans (James 1:27, which says that religion that is pure and undefiled in the eyes of God is this: Take care of the widows and orphans in their distress, and do not become like the world. Paraphrased, btw.) That we would say yes to any child that came our way. And if the child ended up in our home, we would know that they were meant to be there. We believe in the complete sovereignty of our Lord and Savior. Therefore we are always open to serving Him in whichever way He asks. We know that adoption always pleases Him, but we don't always know -which- children He has in mind for us. So we always say yes, and proceed until we can't any further. We're still not at that point with this baby. But we'll update as we can.

Please pray with us that we continue to be good stewards of the blessings we've been given thus far. Also, that we are open to serving our Creator and Savior, in any way He asks of us. Please also pray for the pbm and her family, that she makes the right decision and finds comfort and peace from the Great Comforter, and Prince of Peace.

In Him,
Megan
