On Alert

From our Adoption Network person:
The URGENT situation I emailed out on Friday and had to email family Presentation Letters to .... the baby was born Yesterday morning at 6:30 Am so the attorney did not meet with mom until last night - she is looking over the Letters today and hopes to have a decision by tonight. I will phone the selected couple once I hear. All of you are on alert that you should plan to travel tomorrow if you are the selected family as baby will be released on Monday.

Hope to be calling one of you this evening!!!

And we hope to get "the call".

We're thankful that more than one family is ready (on very short notice) to open their Christian home to this child. Our trust is in the sovereign Lord, and we are joyfully expectant of what our future holds.

[Update at 5:45pm: Birthmother selected another family]

This part of adoption is like a ride. You wait in line. When you get the opportunity, you jump on quick. The suspense builds. Excitement mingles with fear. And often, a little while later you end up back where you began. So we get back in line, ready to ride again.

This is one of the few areas in my easy life where my lack of control is so plainly obvious, and an admiration of a good and sovereign Father keeps me sane.
