April 29 has come and gone without a definitive answer. J from the adoption agency called yesterday & said that the mother we had been praying for had delivered a child, but no other news was available. There are two other families who were praying about whether or not they would take this child & wanted to have their profiles shown.
One of the unexpected feelings I am really struggling with is the fact that this could be our child & there are families out there who didn’t want her. It is one thing to talk about these things theoretically, but when it comes down to someone rejecting your child, it is something entirely different.
That rabbit trail aside, for those who are interested, here’s the news:
We did get a call yesterday (April 29) telling us the baby had been born. They did not know yet whether it was a boy or girl, healthy or not, etc.
Our profile will be shown today. There could be as many as four other profiles or as few as none shown.
Please pray that God would glorify Himself in this matter by granting us patience to rest in His Grace; by protecting, the birth mother, the child & all the families involved; by arranging things so that this child would end up in the right family; and by using all these things for the ultimate Spiritual & eternal good of His elect children among those involved.
We’ll let y’all know when we know.
