- The Morrows LOVE BMom
- The Morrows have not spoken to BMom
- The Morrows are okay with this
- The Morrows are resting in God's sovereignty
We want BMom to know that we LOVE her! For proof of this, look at #1.
We also want BMom to know that we are okay with WHATEVER the outcome of all of this is! We know God's in control. His will for baby boy is what is going to happen. Bottom line. If you're questioning this awesomeness, check out #4 again! ツ
- If we are able to get past the DNA testing and the court hearing and BMom still chooses us as baby boy's adoptive-forever family, we WILL keep our end of the Agreement for this to be a Semi Open Adoption, as requested by BMom.
- He will be affirmed OFTEN of her deep love for him.
- When he's old enough to ask questions, we will answer as best as we can and if we don't have the answers, we will ask BMom to answer him herself through a letter or a phone call.
- We will share letters and pictures back and forth. Because we truly believe that he cannot be whole without this.
- I know that a LOT of people disagree with me about the Semi Open Adoption, to you disagreeable people, the Morrows stick their tongues out at YOU!
And if things don't go favorably for the Morrows with the DNA test and the court hearing and BMom keeps baby boy. This possibility is also included in #4 but we've got this, cause we're also a strong #3!
- We will rejoice with her on her decision.
- We will celebrate with her the life of her baby boy.
- We will continue to pray for her.
- We will continue to pray for baby boy.
- We will make ourselves available in whatever capacity we can.
- Because we LOVE BMom!
- And we LOVE baby boy!
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
Ps. This is between BMom & The Morrows, so any friends or relatives of hers, please mind your own precious business! Yes, I have become quite protective of her! ツ
I love your attitude Mary, I take this lesson of love with me today! I really hope one day I can have a cup of coffee with you!!
ReplyDeleteLove this post, Mary.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've chosen, should you be allowed to adopt him, to let the baby have genuine contact with his mother. The Scriptures affirm very strongly the connection between parents and their children, and the right that the former have to guide the latter through their young lives. Curiously enough, even when parents are rather terrible in Scripture, we don't see any indication that they should be inexorably split apart... and I think the heart of a child makes this point rather strong. No matter what a parent does to their child, children are bound to them by nature. They need to know who they came from, who they are part of, for good or ill, so that someday they might be able to more clearly grasp where it is possible for them to go. The LORD gives children to whomever He wishes. This is His wisdom. Only the most severe circumstances should separate them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for living up to His higher devotion and cherishing this beautiful bond He has made.
