Oh,,,sweet little baby..God tells us the children are the Kingdom of God. I do not care what it says in black an white, I know what the Lord says and with His touch and the right care I know the baby will flourish. I will pry for the entire family and situation tonight in my prayers. You hoped on tight to the hem of Jesus' garment and He will give you the wisdom and strength you need to see you through this. On the days that seem too overwhelming, let Him carry you. God will provide programs or help for the baby. The child will grow to be strong and be a witness to the Lord.!!!! Please keep us posted...
I will keep you and your family in my prayers. You are doing a great thing giving your love and care to those sweet little babies.
We're here to listen. As an adoptive parent myself, I understand your anger, believe me! Love does work wonders - yours and God's. I really don't think you can take any medical diagnosis as the final word when God is still in the miracle working business. Just love that little one and encourage her to do her best. She survived for a reason. The Lord has a plan for her life. In time it will become clear to you.
Lord, I lift up this innocent child. It's been the enemy's intention from the beginning to destroy her life but he's failed. You are the life giver.You knew this child before she was born. You wrote every day of her life in your book. She is a source of joy to you and her adoptive family. Help her to develop to her fullest potential. Please help her new mom to forgive her birthmother for the harm done this little one. I also pray for her birthmother - that you would meet her on her own Damascus road and radically transform her life. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
As kjunmom said we are here to listen and pray. I too would like to share with you about the triumphs of God in the lives of children I have known bringing to them a future that the world would say would never come.
My son was born with a congentital clubfoot. We were told if it had been any more seriouse a foot would not have formed. But God saw things differently. Today he is 28 years old and just finished his 9th year in the Marines. He played basketball in High School, ran track, and even earned a scholosrship in Football for 1 year performance as a reciever. When he wanted to join the Marines before they would offer him a contract their ortho had to check him first. After looking at the original xrays, and records the ortho tried to let him down gently but on my son's exsistance went on to look at the foot. The Dr was shocked he said he could not believe it was the same foot that he had never seen clubfoot that seriouse be corected the way my son's had. My son was accepted being told that at the first hint of foot trouble he would be discharged. As I said that was 9 years ago and Mike just reupped. He is planning on going career.
My neice Jayly was born with a deformed heart. At 10 days old her parents were told by the Dr that they needed to decide wether to watch her die at the hospital or take her home to die. That with the issue she had there was "No Hope". Basically she had no left ventricle. A few hours later after a multitude of prayers a nurse had another Dr look at her. This Dr knew about a new procedure in Michigan that she might be a canidate for. She did and three surguries and many emergency later she is now 9 years old and wonderfully talented in music. She is so loving and has brought joy and hope to many. Especially the families of other children born with the same issues.
My best friend's daughter was diagnosed with mental retardation. At 3 years old her mother was told that her daughter would never be able to progress beyond a 3rd grade education. But again God had a different idea. This comming May Sammarra will be graduating High School. Just last week at parent teachers conference her mother was told that for the first time in her school career her grades, all B except 2 C's were from the exact same lessons every other child was expected to do.
Another friend of mine adopted a beautiful little boy. So much excitment and joy was short lived when they, like you found out he had fetal alchol syndrome. There were lots of challenges and hard places. Manytime Mary Beth wondered if she would make it through. Today he is an adult. He holds down a job and supports himself and has a happy life. Like the rest of us they recoginizes if not for God there would have been no hope.
God can and does intervene when there are those who trust Him. Just as he has done this for these children He is willing to work on behalf of that child that you loved so much to choose to be your own. I hope this helps sow a seed of hope in your heart.
Praise God! What wonderful encouragement Regina C.! Take heart busymomma, God is by your side and will help every time He is needed.
and He's watching over this dear little one. You can take comfort in that. Hugs!
