Breathe.

The current goal is to breathe.


We just received an email from the caseworker. It took my breath away. Committee will either be scheduled for March 17th or 24th (both great dates. Not as soon as I had hoped, but still this month. That's exciting!)


But from there, we hit a little problem. K's grandmother (whom he is very attached to) is fighting the adoption. She wants custody of K. I can't blame her. But that's hard news to process.

On March 31st, there will be a court hearing in which K's grandmother will be attempting to have K removed from the custody of DHS. If the State "wins" this case, the adoption placement can happen as of April 1st. I'm not even sure how to pray on this one. How do I hope that his grandma doesn't get him? That seems so wrong.

I'm still praying that we'll have him for Spring Break. Maybe that doesn't mean we'll have him in our home yet. I don't know.  I trust God's plan and it hit me very clearly this morning that if it's decided that K is not coming into our home, God has his hand in that 100%. Maybe it is His way of protecting our family. I have to trust that.


But, oh my goodness, I want this child in our family.
