This has been a very blessed and interesting day. This morning, my beloved wife and I found out that our 7 month old daughter's adoption had been finalized by the judge and we can finally rest easy that she is ours in the eyes of the law, even though we have felt that God had deemed her ours long ago. Then, this evening at a business meeting, a coworker after asking about the baby and being told the good news, asked "Do you want to adopt another, a little boy this time?" A distant family member of hers is due in less than a month with a baby she cannot possibly raise well, and my coworker is serious about wanting us to consider adopting the baby. While this would be a wonderful blessing from God to grow our family, we are both a little fearful of taking on another newborn so quickly. Finances are not a problem, nor is the well being of the children...my wife is a stay at home mom, and I have more than adequate income to support us well. Please pray that over the next few days as we have this conversation with this birth mother, that God grants us discernment to know if this is the right thing for us to do at this time.
Lord have mercy!
