Eek!! This weekend Andy and I will FINALLY travel to Kentucky to meet our son's birth parents! When we scheduled this meeting it seemed so far away. It felt like I had to wait an eternity to sit with them face to face. Now it's here. On Sunday at 11AM we will sit across a table from them and simply talk. Our social worker will be with us. Thank goodness! She will facilitate conversation and make sure we discuss everything we need to as well as provide support for all of us.
Can I just say that I am beyond excited for this! This past summer Andy and I started praying for two very specific things in regards to our adoption. The first, that the birth family would desire an open adoption. The second, that the birth father would be involved. And The Lord answered both of these prayers with a resounding yes! Yes, you will be matched with a family who desires an open adoption. Yes, your child's birth father will be involved and supportive of the adoption. How awesome is God?! The number of birth fathers involved in planning an adoption is very small so this is a rare and exciting situation!
We would greatly appreciate prayer for this weekend.
1) Safe travels-it's an 8 1/2 hour drive
2) Connection with the birth family
3) Clarity for questions we have
4) Clarity for questions they have
5) Peace as we move forward with the next steps in this journey.
And another request unrelated to the weekend: prayers for the remaining funds would be great!
