What a most wonderful weekend. Not only were we able to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior and the New Life we have in Him, but we were also able to do this with Baby C. We were asked to do respite for him on the Wednesday for Thursday to Sunday. It was actually his worker who suggested it. We had a very busy and enjoyable weekend. We visited the zoo, the park, church and with friends and family. Baby C did very well through it all and even slept through the night twice for the first time. He enjoyed meeting so many new faces and was full of smiles and laughs for them all.
We finish up our courses this weekend and then will begin our homestudy in the next few weeks. Baby C's worker is very encouraging and uplifting and thinks the process will go fast. She reassured Baby C's foster mom that they will not let his profile go public until they have ruled us out. What an answer to prayer. Please pray for us as we go through the next month of questioning in the home study and processing all the changes and what we believe God is asking of us. We are very excited to be Baby C's potential family but I have to admit that I am a little scared too. Scared of the unknown and if I really can be a good mother to all four children... God knows my fears and I trust that He will give me a complete peace and relieve any anxiety.
It is so so exciting to see the girls fully embrace Baby C, hug him, cuddle him, and make him laugh. Steve finally allowed himself to truly connect as well and it was amazing to see the bond that is forming. Although we haven't been matched as of yet, we believe that the more love Baby C is given now the better his chance of attachment will be later.
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.
Sooo excited for you guys as you move on to this next step in the process of adopting baby C. What a wonderful Easter gift to have him with you over the weekend...what a joy! You are in our prayers...God will guide you through this...and His plan is always the best one...seek Him first and you can't go wrong!
