We Need a Miracle

If we are to get Matthew, the baby that we thought we were going to get, we need a miracle. Things are at a point right now that will finalize this situation one way or the other. Right now the birthmother is saying she is going to give custody to someone else. She is supposed to go and sign the papers next week. She has gone back and forth with it, so I just can't give up hope yet. I won't have closure until she has signed the papers. I have said that I want our adoption to be a witness and to be able to see how God put it all together. If this is the one, boy, I had no idea what I was asking for. This will have been a bit more than what I had in mind, because if this works out the way we want it to, it will be nothing but a miracle from God. The situation is a lot more detailed than what I can make public, but just know that right now it does not look good at all. Hopefully one day this will all work out and I can explain just how bizarre this situation is. I keep telling people that this is the kind of stuff you would see on Dateline, it is that weird. Please pray for us and everyone involved right now. Please especially pray that God will give the birthmother the wisdom to make the right decision, whatever that may be. I pray for His will to be done.

Happy Birthday!!!

Today is my mama's 60th birthday. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful mother. She has been more like a sister to me than a mother. I am so glad we have had the opportunity to do so many things together.
We had a surprise party for her, and we got her good. She had no idea what was going on. I practically had to push her into the room where the party was. I want to thank everyone who came to make it such a special occasion for her.
