Prayers Needed......
A friend from high school is in need of prayers. She got married shortly after high school (more than 15 years ago). Over the past three years, they have been trying to adopt. They had three failed adoptions two of which they traveled to Texas for the delivery of the baby only for the birthmother to change her mind. I can't even imagine. They then changed their mind and were both willing to adopt a toddler. They got the wonderful news that there was a one year old up for adoption bc the mom had several kids and could not take care of him. They flew to Texas(again) and the little boy walked over to them and gave them hugs. He wouldn't let go of them. She described it as perfect and that the previous adoption failures were now a distant past for the pure joy they just received. They have had him for three months and life was great---or so they thought. They got a phone call from the adoption agency saying that the birthmother lied about the birthfather and that he wanted custody of the baby all along. A few days later, the birthfather and grandparents flew to PA and took the little boy back to Texas. Can you imagine the pain they must feel? I surely can't and my eyes well with tears just thinking about it. I'm praying for them that they find the strength to keep going through with adoption. There are many kids out there that need loving families that they can provide. I feel like God has bigger plans for them. Please add them to your prayer list.
