Unanswered Questions

I was hoping to find out more on the status of if the birth father had signed the papers yet as well as where "S" is at in terms of her healing.  I was very briefly able to touch base with the therapist yesterday, but unfortunately, she was quite busy and wasn't able to talk.  I attempted calling the attorney to see what she would say about the signing, but unfortunately I haven't heard from her either.  So now due to the weekend, we will see what next week will bring as far as answers go.

The therapist did mention that "S" is not back in treatment and she made it sound like something medical was going on, but there wasn't time to find out what.  I tried calling her back today to see if I could get some more answers but wasn't able to touch base with her.  There was a brief mention about trying to set up a meeting with "S", but I don't know when that will be yet.  And even if a time is set up, we have been told that we're not guaranteed she will show up (which is true for any case).

Today was one of those down days, where it seems like there are so many unanswered questions.  Is this case going anywhere or are we just spinning our wheels?  As soon as "S" makes a step forward, it seems like there are 2-3 that are taken backwards.  I know that God is in control, and I am praying that I/we will wait on His timing and His clear direction.

On a more positive note, I had another wonderful visit with Adia's birth mother this week.  She and their unborn son could really use your prayers.  He isn't due until the first part of June and they are hoping she can make it until closer to the end of March to deliver.  There is a chance he won't survive and if he does survive there is a 50% chance there could be significant problems.  There is also a chance that the mother could die as well.  She has quite a few health problems and because of that has been on a lot of medications.  However, once she became pregnant, she had to stop the meds.  Anyway, talking to her, you wouldn't know that she is facing these challenges. Her joy in the Lord is so evident! She thanked me and us again for all that we had done for them.  She even mentioned that she wondered if they would've found Christ, if we wouldn't have met!  I am so excited that we may have been able to be used by the Lord in this way!

It is through her/their testimony and encouragement like this that helps keep me motivated to keep pursuing our adoption journey - - little did I know just how bumpy this journey would be!  I am so thankful that we do not journey alone, and that I can hold on to the hand of my Father as I try to follow His leading!
