For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer 29:11)

Wisdom

We are praying about signing with an agency that sounds really wonderful and even had a baby boy needing placement recently.  We think we could meet a need with this agency, while at the same time take a break from all the searching and just wait.  Our biggest concern is that the state this agency is located in has a 10 day period after the birth mother signs relinquishment papers in which to take the baby back.  It would be easier to take this risk if it was not a 2 full day drive from home and require lots of precious vacation time for Gary.  Also,
I cannot imagine making the drive, holding my baby, signing papers and then have the baby taken away a few days later.  Apparently it looks like 1 out of 3 birth mothers do take back the babies in this state, so there is risk.  We are taking a few days to pray and consider before we make a final decision.  Thank you again for all your prayers as we make these decisions!
