It went great! Our social worker, as I have said before, is so easy to talk with. While she does ask alot of personal questions, we did not find this difficult. I do have to say though that we are glad to have this portion of the adoption behind us. She told us Thursday night that she will submit our official report this week and from now on we just wait to hear. We are becoming more and more excited as we wait for this precious child to enter our lives. We will sit down and meet with the birthmother and get to know her a bit. Nate and I are viewing this as a great way to minister to her and help her too as she makes a big, life-changing decision. I can't fathom the magnitude of this decision for her. Please continue to pray for her and the baby and for us. While our hearts will be blessed, her heart must be breaking. What a gift she truly is giving us.
Don't know when the call will come, but you blog readers will certainly be able to tell we've been contacted----- whenever it happens!!
Pray for our Benjamin too. He's been sick with tonsillitis. No fun for him. He is feeling better now but for awhile he didn't want to even swallow. He's a trooper though. Today we came up on a wreck while driving to my mom's house. He saw the catastrophe and immediately said, "Mom, let's pray now for the people." What a little man I have. His faith trumps mine on many days. His pure and trusting heart exhibits the faith that we all should have. He hasn't been corrupted with poor theology and man's opinion. Our prayer is that we continue to foster his faith in God is such a way that he continues to believe that each time he prays, God will answer.
Today is a special day in our family. Our nephew, and Benjamin's best friend, turned 5! In 5 months, Benjamin will join the ranks of the 5 year olds. What excitement and joy surrounds this milestone!
God is good and faithful!
