Today we finally recieved some good news... sort of. Again for those of you praying, now is the time we need it :) I talked with my worker today and everything is good to go on our end. Unfortunately a form in Baby C's file is not and it may take a few months for it to be finished. So, his worker has applied for a legal risk placement. What this means is that Baby C can be placed with us until the form comes back and then we can proceed with the finality of the adoption. If for any reason something happens with the form we risk that Baby C will be taken from us... this is extremely unlikely. The application goes to Edmonton and they decide if they will place under legal risk terms. If they decide yes, he could come home in about two weeks, if they say no it may be a few months still. I know that God is in complete control and I have perfect peace.
Philippians 4:4-7 says, "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
This is my prayer. That I will choose to focus on TODAY and TRUST HIM completely.
Please join our family in prayer that Edmonton will accept the application, and we can move ahead in bringing Baby C (well Toddler C now) home.
I will keep you posted when I hear something new. Thank you to all of you praying and for your encouragement. Some days are tough, but with God's strength alone we are able to focus on Today and not get caught up in the what ifs, whys, whens and hows.
