JIMMY LU!!! Been thinking of you lately, was going to send you a PM to see what you were up to! Now I won't. Welcome back! Crystal...tell Rob I said Happy Father's Day to him! We know what a REAL daddy is, and we also know WHO Jessie's REAL daddy is!!!
so happy for you! We are so happy here for you too, Crystal!!!!! :lol: God bless, Melanee and family Brenda, Do you know the name of that song? My dds would like to sing it at church. Thanks, Melanee
Thanks again ladies. We are very prayerful, but still do not have any confirmation on this being over. I am praying that if this does still go to court it wont be until late, late fall. I dont want to leave my newborn to do an all day court hearing. But, I have all summer to now relax and enjoy my family, my pregnancy and not worry about court things. My brother and SIL leave on July 9th to pick up their newly adopted little girl from China. Our family is booming with excitment! Thanks for being so great!
Having a really hard week with different issues. A very dear friend had a baby girl last week and she was stillborn. My heart is broken in a million pieces. Our court situation is not over. We were very hopeful, but looks like bio father is still around. I just really need prayers for peace. I cant sleep right and have lost two pounds, which normally I would be happy about, but being 30 wks pregnant I dont think this is the time to be loosing weight. I dont like being in a rut, but I cant seem to shake it. If you could remember my friend and her family. This was a horrible, painful loss. Thanks.
Oh, Crystal, my heart goes out for your friend!!! That happened to a good friend of mine a while back, and I know how much of a heartache it is. And it's hard on you right now being pregnant and all. I remember I just about freaked when i thought Phillip had stopped moving, about a year after my friend lost hers! I was blessed with midwives that loved the Lord (they both homeschooled right there in the office between their patients!) I'll send you a PM. Jackie
that is so bad I am so sorry for your friend. I know that is hard on you and makes you worry. God knows you need this baby. Just hang in there. You are going thru alot but God is in control of it all. Love to all. Praying, Lorna
Re: so happy for you! Melanee, The song is on a CD called "God will make a way...songs of hope for today" by Hosana Music. This version of the song is by Don Moen. I will admit that it is a song I listened to very frequently after my own Salvation. It got me through some really big rutts at that time... Brenda
Ok my faithful friends, here we go again!! We have another court date. I just got off the phone with my lawyer and our adoption hearing is set up forTuesday, Aug. 9th at 9 am. (eastern time) My lawyer assures us this is it! No more changes. This has been a looong process and I hope and pray this is it. NOT that I am looking forward to court all day, but at least we can do it, get it over with, and go on with our lives. I have faith in Jesus Christ and His love for Jessie that this will turn out for the best. PLEASE pray for dh (Rod) and I. The court day will last from 9 am until 5 pm. I am nervous, anxious, scared - you name it I feel it. I know and trust God has His hand in this, but your prayers sure would be appreciated. Please pray that God gives me peace. It will be a long day of testimony and questioning. Please pray that God is with all attorneys involved and the judge and that God's will be done for dear, sweet, little Jessie. We love her so very much and just want what is best for her. This court date is just about three weeks from my due date, so I hope I am strong enough to get this day done! I have been very emotional and not sleeping very good. Partly due to being uncomfortable, but also this court day is weighing heavy on my mind. Thank you in advance for caring and your prayers. You all have helped more then you could possibly know.
Whatever happened to the "bonding" thing that was suppose to happen and the sperm-donor (remenant from listening to Dr. Laura!) didn't bother coming for? Will be praying for sure, for peace for you, Rod, and the rest of the family; for wisdom for the judge and common sense for all those testifying.
We're praying for at leasst a double dose of everything good for you, Crystal! You're going through a lot, but god can give you peace (see my favorite text below)! You are going through a lot......Stay strong, I know God will work this out for the best!
Thank you. Jackie - the bonding assesment is still underway. Rod and I have gone to one. We have another tomorrow and then one more the first week of Aug. The bio father did finally contact the office and set up his part of the bonding sessions. This can only help our case since Jessie only knows Rod as her daddy.
Crystal, I got iinterrupted in the middle of writing that message, then came back and wrote the same thing! DUH! :shock: Oh well, at least you know we are thinking about and praying for you!
Still praying for you Crystal... you need to find a bath tub a great big bottle of bubbles, and some candles - relax and let God look after it all (the bubble bath suggestion isn't meant as a mean thing - that's what I do when I'm stressed out - I should look like a prune some days :wink: Brenda
I am a tub soaker too Brenda and that is a great idea! I just keep telling myself it is one day, one day. I can do this. But pray for me anyway!!!!
still praying You and your family are being lifted up in prayer here daily. Blessings, Melanie Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth thee.
