Today is the day!

April 2, 2013

  I woke up today with a smile on my face and knots in my stomach.  I have a feeling that, once again, Pepto Bismol will be my friend today.  Today is the day that J will join our family.  Through all our excitement and joy I can't help but feel sad for his birth parents.   They are the sweetest people and are giving us the greatest gift.  They will shed a lot of tears today.  So will we.  My prayer is that God will be with them and hold them close today. So I wanted this post to be about them.  

Thank you Lord for E & T.
Thank you for bringing them into our lives.  I ask that you hold E's hand in court today and help her through this tough time.  Let her never forget the love you have for her and the love we have for both of them.  Allow J to be a blessing and for him to always know how much E & T love him.  May they continue to be a source of happiness to him and may they always know how proud J is of them for making this selfless decision out of love for him.  Today we ask for strength for everyone involved and peace with outcome.  All of this we ask in your holy name.  AMEN
