PRAYERS.....

I would like to ask that you pray for M and C today! Their profile is being presented to a BM this morning. Please pray that the Lord would be with this BM this morning, pray that she is steadfast in her adoption plan, pray that the Lord will give her peace about the family that she chooses! Pray that the Lord would put a hand of protection on this sweet baby that she is carrying. Pray that the Lord would prepare M and C for the decision that this BM makes!!

Whenever you are being presented, it is a hard time. You have to literally keep yourself busy and try not to think about the BM looking at your family profile!! So, I just lift up M and C during this time, asking that the Lord will give them peace as they wait on this decision!!






GREAT NEWS!!!

I wanted to update everyone, the client that I have been asking you to pray for FINALLY received their precious baby boy!! This client has become a very close friend. We have been so blessed to work with them, and to walk through this very emotional journey with them. Emily and Daniel have been working with us since last year!!! In the past 5 1/2 months, they have matched 5 times. They are the only client that we have had that has a failed match, and they had it happen 5 times! UGH!!!! On the 3rd BM they were matched with, they actually got to pick up their precious baby and care for him for 9 days, but then the BM changed her mind, and they had to give him back. We have seen them in one of the hardest moments of their lives, and it was amazing to watch their faith get them through it! We met them in person for the very first time, minutes after they returned baby Jeremiah to his BM. I am still in awe of their strength!! I can't imagine going through everything they have been through! Their faith has been unwavering, and such a testimony to Emory and I!!! So glad that the Lord allowed us to meet, and for us to walk through this with them!

The Lord answered their prayers yesterday afternoon. They picked up their precious baby boy...
