Another update...we received word that a new doctor who saw Momma felt that there are problems with the baby's heart on ultrasound. Will be referred to an academic medical center for further testing and planning on whether he will need heart surgery at birth or not, and to test for any genetic abnormalities that may be present. Continued prayers to give us strength to care for this child and the birth mom as we go through this trying time. Let's hope that this doc is wrong and the prior sonos were right and that all is well.

Thy Will be done!

Our first adoption had some challenges as well, but we were rather naive and just rolled with the punches. This time, some people outside the dynamic interfered; some "friends" of the birth parents convinced them that it was evil for them to place their child for adoption, despite the fact that they both are in rehab and unemployed. The father does not want to raise another child, and the mother is ambivalent, but the bullying of their "friends" convinced her to pull out of the adoption about three weeks short of delivery. Not so much worried about any "omen", but rather it becomes hard to trust again. Just trying to find a place of humble trust in God that He will provide for us what we need in the way of a family.

May God bless you and keep you.

I pray that God's will be done in your life and family.

It may be that The Lord wants to provide a family for you and your wife, through your own body and your wife, as He did for Abraham and Sarah, who were given the miracle child, Issac, though they themselves were not capable.

To me, it seems your faith is strong, to believe that God will provide a family for you.

I believe He will.

Be it unto you according to your faith.

Be blessed.

Well, we spoke with the Pediatric Cardiologist yesterday. Our baby (who we plan to name Luke) has a form of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and will need several heart surgeries in his first few year of life and we will only now what his life will be like as he grows and develops. If all goes well, he may have a fairly normal life with some mild limitations of extreme activity/exertion. There is also risk of bigger problems, but we will be prayerful and work to give this child the best life that we can. Continued prayers are appreciated.
