Today was another meeting of the minds concerning Nevaeh's permanency. The adoption charge case manager, the adoption counselor, and our personal caseworker was present as well as Laura, Mark and Nevaeh! We have been told that the judge has ordered a status conference. The purpose of this conference is to make sure that "all our ducks are in a row." If everything is in order, we may proceed with the December 14th date. If anything is out of line, the adoption will have to be moved to January. So all of you "PRAY-ers", I would call on your graciousness yet another time, and ask you all to remember Nevaeh's adoption in your prayers. We are asking God to go before the caseworkers involved, the lawyer, and the judge and care for anything that may need tending, and be with us for the planned huge weekend of Nevaeh's adoption.
Having much family present for the adoption, made much sense to plan a dedication service in that same weekend and the plans are all falling into place. Our conference president, has been so kind to rearrange his personal schedule to be present. We are very appreciative of that effort. Nevaeh's brothers are going to sing to her as well as our adopted twin nieces. Perhaps I can post some video clips of that on the blog to share with you.
And if you have a spare second in your prayer time, I would be so grateful if you would whisper a thought in my behalf. The closer the date becomes, the more jittery my insides. I fear that I'm going to be a nervous wreck! I can't begin to tell you how I feel emotionally. You'd never understand unless you've been there yourself anyway. I've never felt anything like it.
You will, however, understand excitement, and our entire family, church family included, is excited about this incredible milestone that is taking place in our lives.
GOD IS SO GOOD!
