When God works....

WOW does he work!!!

Tuesday night, after making my post, I looked at Michael and said, "For us to get a child anytime soon someone is going to have to walk up to us and say 'Please take this kid!'" Well, the next morning I was at bus duty at school and one of my assistant principals walked up to me and a co-worker. As we were talking one of our first graders came by and greeted us. The conversation switched to the child and his less than desirable home situation. My assistant principal looked at me and said, "Hey, he's up for adoption!" I just stared. Did God just use my own words to give me a message less than 12 hours later?

I spent the rest of the day gathering more information on the child. I talked with Michael. We decided to look into the situation.

Today I went to that same assistant principal and told him we would be interested in looking into adopting the boy. He referred me to our other assistant principal who handles first grade. Within ten minutes I was sitting with the school social worker, this assistant principal and our school counselor. Everyone was very supportive, telling me how we would be so good for him. The social worker got on the phone with the court's guardian ad litem ............. bottom line, by the end of the day the school counselor was on the phone with the person who currently has custody of the child. He is interested in talking to us and will give permission for us to take the next step in personally talking with himself and the guardian ad litem.

While this is going crazy fast, we are both thrilled and scared. The little boy is six and is doing very well considering his crazy home life. We are over the moon at the idea of him becoming part of our family.

Please pray for us as we continue on this roller coaster ride! Tomorrow I am to call his current guardian and get some more information. Also, please pray for him that even if he is not meant to be with us, that he gets his forever family soon.
