I believe maybe this is God's way of answering some prayers? If this 'man' can't commit to bonding sessions how on earth is he going to commit to being a productive, responsible role model/father to a child? It would be such a blessing if he would crawl back into to the woodwork and stay there realizing what he's putting the innocent child through. Maybe God hit him with a 2x4 and he clued in and realized what he's doing. Still praying, Brenda
Dare I say it?--PRAISE GOD FOR THIS DEADBEAT DAD!!!!.....I'm not sure if that was very nice, but it sure is how I feel! We are still praying for you here!
Praying here, Crystal. Maybe now that this bio father is starting to see the commitment it takes just to follow through this court mess he started, let alone raise a child, he'll give up before he causes anymore headaches. That's how I'm praying! Blessings,
Thanks again all! Yes, we are praying for the same thing. This is a long, expensive process and we are prayful that the bio father is coming to realize that it is too much for him. Today is dear, sweet Jessie's 6th birthday - off to celebrate!!!
Happy Birthday Jesse!!! Crystal you have my prayers. God is working it out. Keep the faith. He is an awesome God!!!
Crystal, You tell little Jessie Happy 6th Birthday and I hope you all had a wonderful time out and had a good day. We are praying for you and your family :lol:
Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday, dear Jessie, Happy birthday to you! Parabens p'ra voce, nesta data querida, muitas felicidades, muitos anos de vida!!!! Viva Jessie! (translation from Portuguese: Congratulations to you, on this dear date, much happiness, many years of life! Hurray, Jessie!) Blessings,
God's hands Try to remember thru all of this that God's hands are in control of all. He knows the future for us. He does what is best for us all. It is hard to think about but we need to at times. It does make us feel better. Jessie will understand when you tell her. It is alot on her but you are right you and Rod have to be the ones to tell her. She needs to hear it all from you both. Maybe you could make a special evening for just the 3 of you somehow. Take her off and enjoy some time alone with her and tell her then. You love her greatly and she knows that already. God will work it all out. You already have a mixed family of love thru Rod's kids and your kids so she sees how each of you love each others kids already. Adoption doesn't make more love at all. Love comes from caring and sharing. Hugs, kisses, night time stories, special days and regular old days with nothing new in them. Just being a family. That doesn't mean just birthed kids at all. There are many great families just think the BRADY Bunch was one happy family. LOL I do hope you understand what I am trying to say. It is again hard to write it down the way I intend it. Love to all, Lorna
Thanks all again for kind, encouraging words and birthday wishes!!! You ladies are great!! Well, I do have a specific prayer request now. We just heard from our lawyer and are you ready for this??? The court date has been changed again. The Juy 27th date is no longer. Honestly my first reaction was that of anger, a lot of anger. I so badly want this done and overwith, especially before the birth of our baby. Doesnt look like that is going to happen. I just really need your prayers that this ends soon. I know my lawyer doesnt mean to get our hopes up - she even said those exact words, but she thinks the bio father asked for the hearing to be cancelled and it is due to him having second thougths. NONE of this can be confirmed right now, but if I can ask that you all pray that this is the reason. I know I have writen before, but I am NOT looking forward to any kind of court hearing. So we here are praying, praying, praying that this is the end. Wouldnt that be sooooo great!?!?!??! Thanks everyone!
You've got it, Crystal! NO HEARING AT ALL!!! That this guy gets a case of sensibility, and realize that the most loving thing he can do with this little girl is to let her stay right where she is, with people that love and care for her, and will raise her up according to God's Word!
Oh my! It so sounds like he may be coming to his senses - at least that's what I'm praying for. Crystal, we're praying for you. When I read the post about the court date being changed this song came to my head: God will make a way Where there seems to be no way He works in ways we cannot see He will make a way for me He will be my guide Hold me closely to His side With love and strength for each new day He will make a way for me (Repeat) By a roadway in the wilderness He'll lead me Rivers in the desert I will see Heaven and earth will fade But His word will still remain And He will do something new today Brenda
Oh Crystal, That would be absolutely WONDERFUL!!! Then you would need to make sure that he signs off this, so he can do this to you again! That would just be too much! We are so totally praying here!!! Please continue to keep us informed!
Oh my, obviously I menat so he CAN'T do this to you again!!!! Sorry, BAD place to make a mistake!!! :shock:
Praise God! OK, Crystal~ like you, I'm trying not to get my hopes up here, but YES! YES!! YES!!! I can't believe it! I'm just beside myself! Well, you know I'm on your side, and that I'm praying for you and Rod and Jessie and all the kids! Love you! Heidi
Crystal we have been moving and now that we are settling in I thought Id catch up on what I am behind on which is obviously ALOT!!! We are praying for you!!
