Please join us in prayer!Our adoption profile is being shipped overnight to deliver on Monday; 3/1/2010 to a young birthmother in MS. She will review our profile along with many other "waiting families" profiles next week in order to decide which family she wants to parent her newborn baby boy.
What we know:
* Birthmother delivered her healthy, bi-racial baby boy on February 5, 2010
* Wanting to choose an adoption plan, she released her baby to "interim care"/foster care until she could select the adoptive family.
* The agency is trying to contact the birthfather to determine whether he will relinquish his parenting rights (birthmother has voluntarily relinquished her rights to parent).
Please pray:
1. For the birthmother. We are thrilled that she chose LIFE! Though we can not imagine that emotional, physical, etc that she must go through in choosing an adoption plan, we are already praying for her...yes, FOR HER. As she has to review the many profiles in order to make such a life decision for her baby, she is sure to face many emotions. Please pray for her and that our Lord would direct her to choose the family that He has in mind.
2. For the baby boy. He is currently in interim care, and he will soon be placed into an adoptive family's care. So, within these past few weeks, this little boy will have already faced TWO MAJOR LOSSES in his young life.
- His mother.
- His interim care mother & family
From our training, we understand that even at his young age, he could struggle with attachment issues due to these major transitions occurring. Please pray for him.
3. For the birthfather. Though we are not sure whether he is known by anyone other than the birthmother, please do pray that if he comes forward that he will see God's grace and love through the lives of those adoption personnel working to serve the birthmother and this little baby boy.
Thank you so much for your prayers!
We will plan to update our blog just as soon as we receive an update from our agency.
