On the other hand, that may be a good thing - added protection for all the involved parties. <br /><br />Like Jenn said, God already has your little one picked out and you will find out about him or her at the perfect time.Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095540983427609774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-38815932469896152652009-12-23T19:20:34.125-06:002009-12-23T19:20:34.125-06:00Wow, that's some list! But you know what? I...Wow, that's some list! But you know what? I'm glad that they aren't pulling any punches with you guys. Better to know up from exactly what's expected of you and of the birth mother so that there are no surprises. Make sure to ask lots of questions. Write them down so you don't forget; I'm sure you and John will think of a lot as you discuss this together. <br /><br />The other thing that really stands out to me is just how important it is to have both husband and wife FULLY comitted to this process. You are each other's encouragement and support during this time. I pray that God will use this process to further strengthen your relationship with one another. <br /><br />I remain completely confident that God has already chosen your child. I see you and John really stepping up to the plate and being the gracious parents that this agency seems so intent on adopting to. You both have the heart to want to minister to the birth mother and your own child. I see only good things coming from this. <br /><br />Remain faithful and trust in God. It may seem like a lot right now, but just work at each thing, not as a huge goal, but each item being smalls goals. Celebrate each one as you check it off your list. Cheer each other on. And I'll be cheering you BOTH on. <br /><br />Wishing you well and sending so much love your way...I'm blessed to know you and be able to watch the process from your vantage point. You have such grace and peace! <br /><br />Oh, your child's baby blanket has now officially been worked on in at least 5 states, in several homes and on an airplane. It's very well traveled! It'll have at least one more plane ride...to Texas. <br /><br />Love you guys!JLIhttp://paperphan.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
