Our Impossible Possibility

No, no. I didn’t go private.
The past two weeks, we have had an unexpected surprise.

We have some good and bad news.

I’ll tell you the good first.

Do you remember our failed adoption in October?
The little princess we almost got?

Well, she flew down to Texas to see us this past week!

And her birth mommy wants us to adopt her!

Now for the bad news.
After several days with us, we had to tear our hearts out of our chests
and let her go back to Michigan with her birth mommy due to legal issues.

The birth father is saying he won’t let us adopt her.

He says he will fight it…even though he doesn’t want to be a full-time parent.
Michigan laws are so tough that it would take a miracle.
But Lee and I have both seen miracles.

It would be a tough road, if we and birth mommy go ahead.

Lee and I are still deciding what to do.
In some ways it’s a dangling impossible possibility.
Is this one of God’s miracles waiting to happen?
Or is this just a test we are going through to lead us somewhere else?
Hhhmm… we don’t know.  We are waiting, praying and seeing.

We put our Ethiopia adoption paperwork on hold.

The only thing for sure is that we loved having her!

Crossing our fingers and hoping for the best,
