It's been a month since my last post.
On Wednesday of this week, we got a call from our adoption specialist at Bethany. She had news that we had been waiting for, but weren't expecting this soon, if ever.
The State has made the decision to split the sibling group. Three of them are being adopted by their foster parents. One is going to a group home. One is available for us to adopt.
We had told them that in the event that they did a split, we would consider the younger two. I figured it was unlikely that we would get the 3 year old since he and his sister are very much loved by their foster parents (who have graciously taken in one of the other boys as well). Maybe there was a slight chance for the 8 year old, but I had turned it totally over to God, because it had hurt so much when we took him back that chilly day in December to what I considered a dismal existance.
After prayer, we said "Yes". This boy already has a place in our hearts.
If all goes well, next Saturday on February 9th, we will bring him home.
