We wanted to update you on our adoption news so you can better know how to pray for our family in the coming weeks. There are many risks involved in this situation, but we know that NOTHING is impossible with God. We are thankful to be a part of the body of Christ especially right now. Thank you for praying and interceding for our baby girl.
Yesterday we spoke with the birth mother's counselor from Va and she shared with us that the birth mother is receiving a severe amount of opposition regarding her choice to place her baby for adoption. Her parents think she is making a bad choice and are trying to convince her to keep the baby and telling her that she will regret this choice she has made to place her baby girl in our family. She is currently living with them and we are concerned for her. Pray that she would not be worn down and give in to their persuasion. She has told us that she has 100% chosen us and is determined to follow through with her decision.
The case worker said that if this (drama) continues, they will most likely place the baby in foster care when she is born and not allow us to bring her home from the hospital. We are believing in faith that she will be placed with us from the hospital. We are going to fight for our daughter and we need you to fight with us. The greater the battle, the greater the reward. Many of you have encouraged us with scriptures or words from the LORD at just the right time to lift our spirits so we are not overcome with fear. Thank you for your support for our family.
We love you,
Eric, Regina, & Malakai
Adoption, both spiritual and physical, is always met with war! Because God LOVES it, you know what Satan and his legions think of it. Take heart, stay strong, and continue to TRUST in your adoptive Father! :-)
