We are in a private adoption situation brought to us by a long time friend who's sister is unable to parent. Bmom is deciding whether to parent at this time (six months pregnant). Factors - economic/ possibly drug use. We want a family so badly I need prayers for the safety of this unborn child and for God to place this child in the best home whether it's ours or with bmom if she can pull it together. I need prayers for me because I so desperately want a family. Dear lord help me to find peace and serenity while we wait for this match or any other match.
Thank you!

I will lift you up in prayer for God's will to be done. I have suffered thru 20 years of infertility and failed attempts to conceive with fertility drugs. :( ...I was at the end of my rope desperately wanting my own family. After alot of prayer my husband and I decided to do foster to adopt a little over 3 years ago. We adopted our daughter, now 10, a little over a year ago. I pray that the Lords will be done in your life and that you continue to trust completely in Him for His plan for you!! God bless.......keep us update. :wings:

Thank you sissysmom. We are also fost-adopt approved and I am scared to death about an older child adoption. So, it's a relief to hear about your success with fost-adopt and it sounds like it turned out wonderful. We also have a sibling set three older boys that we were matched with (all under five years old). They are with the state so it's been months and we haven't even had a disclosure meeting yet so of course we have no idea what will happen with that. The infertility is just an ongoing heartbreak. I go through periods of regression where the pain is so raw (right now). Other times I'm okay. I want my relationship with Christ to be enough and I feel ashamed that I'm in such despair over the IF. I pray throughout the day for healing in this area and for help believing God will fulfill the desires on my heart one day. That it's he who put this desire to bring children to know him and to trust that it's his timing and not mine. It's just such a struggle, everyday... day in and day out. Sometimes the despair is overwhelming. Praise God for this forum and being able to connect.
Praying for you during this "waiting time" and asking God to fill you with His peace which passeth all understanding. He will keep your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. Walk by faith and not by sight- God is Faithful and He will bring it to pass. Hugs from an adoptee who is filled with gratitude for her adoption into a godly home!

Also praying that you have peace and contentment through this, even though it feels like the whole world is falling apart around you. peace to you, sister!
