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)

Baby Update

We arrived here safely in Tennessee and are having a wonderful time with Lisa, Steve, and their children.  The cousins always have such a fun time together!


Today the birth mother asked to talk with us again.  She is still very supportive of the adoption, but she is suffering from some significant family loss at this time.  There was also more emotion about the adoption as well.  As I said, she is verbally committed to the adoption because she believes it is best for the baby, but this is also a very difficult time for her emotionally.  Please pray for her, that God would give her comfort and strength for this season.


The birth mother saw the doctor today and is progressing more.  She is in a lot of pain and is watching her contractions closely.  The doctor told her she could have the baby in a few days or a few hours, but things look really good. 


We are very hopeful and asking for God to keep our hearts resting in His perfect plan, remembering that He is good!


Psalm 9:10
And those who know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

We are praying for all of you, Jamie! I can not begin to imagine the courage it would require to make a choice that you ultimately know is best for your child and yet rips out your heart at the same time. What a precious testimony this mother's choice will be to this sweet baby. . . loved at such a cost! Praying for all the hearts involved.
