My aunt and I were chatting this morning on FB. One of our mutual friends daughters is having a baby next month. She just turned 21. My aunt told me that the daughter is thinking about giving up the baby. Seems the boyfriend won't let the daughter move in with him if she keeps the baby. I'm thinking that the boyfriend may not be the baby's daddy. Now, here is my dilemma. My aunt has told this mutual friend about E and I and our struggle and I have also communicated it via FB. She just told my aunt last week about the potential adoption. Do I write this friend and ask that E and I be considered as adoptive parents? My heart is saying "do it!". My brain is asking "is this okay to do?". Input please!!
Also, praises to the Lord today as I have a 2 new cousins this weekend! One cousin and her hubby brought home a baby girl Friday night. The birth father is fighting for his parental rights in court so this may not be definite. I pray that his rights remain revoked so there is no disruption in the adoption.
Another cousin and her hubby delivered a baby boy this morning! Mama and baby are both doing great!
On a sad note, the sister of the cousin who gave birth this am had to say goodbye this morning to her husband of only one month. He is being sent to Iraq for over a year. Please pray with me for his safety! Some of the soldiers who received the same orders are now being sent to Afghanistan instead. We are praying that this does not happen to him!
It's a beautiful day in Michigan but fall is coming way too quickly. I am headed to the beach for the first time this year! Have a blessed Sunday, everyone!
UPDATE!! Just heard that my step-nephew is headed back into surgery right now! His defibrillator went hay-wire and they are going to take it out. Will post more when I know more.

Hello fellow Michigander, and Catholic IF. Found your blog via a Catholic IF link.
I would contact any adoption lead God presents. If it's his will the adoption will go through, if not your heart will continue to hurt, but we're Catholic, no tear is wasted!
BTW, our son's (a school age child from foster care) adoption was completed 2 years ago yesterday and we waited years for the child God had in store for us. I know how hard it is to wait, but his plan for our family has been better than anything we could have imagined.
God Bless.
Oh my goodness, I will pray for both situations! Please update again when possible.
walk until you can't go any further...I would plow through that contact. :)
Hmmm. I don't know what to say other than that you will be in my prayers.
I would absolutely contact any person with a lead, what could it hurt!?
and fall coming too early??? I can't wait for fall n hot MS!
Yes, yes, yes! Contact her!!!!! Get the word out there...it's worth the humiliation. I grew up in MI and boy do I wish I were still there today! Instead I'm baking in Phoenix at 109. Bleck. Blessings on you and your family!!!!
We have our daughter Isabella, after 9 years of IF because God led us to her through a friend of a friend. It is scary to put your heart into it, but God will guide you!
