Having someone to love is FAMILY. Having somewhere to go is HOME. Having both is a BLESSING.
We ARE SO BLESSED!

Please Pray For Our Baby Girl!

There have been some new developments and twists in the circumstances involving our precious little sweetheart which may require her to return to her mother for a time. We received word today that a tentative "leave date" is scheduled for the morning of September 23. Those working closely to her situation do not believe that the move will be permanent and that Nevaeh will come back to us (possibly not alone or in the future adding her sibling to our home), however, the move will be traumatic for our little angel. It breaks our hearts to think of her in pain and that there is nothing we can do to ease that pain. We know that God sees a bigger picture than we, and that the details are as He wishes. We want to live in the center of His will. We are, at this time though, asking Him for mercy to shine on Nevaeh and that He would spare her the pain of a "back and forth" situation. Aside from Nevaeh being a mommy baby she shows no other side effects of her change from her beginning of life to transition into our home setting. Nevaeh has thrived and is a gift from God.
Nevaeh is 4 1/2 months old and as attatched to us as we are to her. She has not been having visits with her bio mother, so you can see how a change like this will shatter her heart.
Please share your prayer support for Nevaeh and for our boys. The thought of losing their baby sister is rocking their world probably in ways that we don't yet even see.
In all things, and no matter what, God IS good!
Nevaeh is really a smiley little girl but every time I try to take her picture with my camera, the auto focus and flash light that shines before the picture is taken distracts that beautiful smile.

Daddy & his little girl.










Both of daddy's girls!

Natalie thinks this baby is HERS. As soon as she saw what mommy was looking at, she started jibbering wildly, patting her chest and then pointing at the screen. This baby definitely belongs in OUR family, she says.
