Why do we try to conform God to our will? Live in His word and know true joy.

More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb."

Please Pray!!!

As any of you read this today, I will be in the courtroom in Deadwood. Today is a bittersweet day, it is the first giant step towards Ethan being free for adoption. If all goes the way we hope it does, termination of parental rights will happen.

Please pray, I will be testifying and they said I could be on the stand for HOURS. They also said it could be over for me in a matter of 30 minutes, it all depends on how much mud the birth mom tries to drag me through. Of course, it isn't actually her, it is her lawyer.

There are 4 people that will question all witnesses today.

I do thank each of you for your support, and Aunt Wendy for your very wonderful email. Thanks for praying!

Ashley, it was quite a God-thing that I found your blog today in an adoption search of blogger. We have an Ethan ourselves, who arrived overnight on March 1 of this year. Parental rights were terminated in late September and we're hoping to have the adoption final on the 18th of this month. I too had to testify and know the pain and fear that you are under. Please know that you are in our prayers. I have been blogging about my experiences as well, www.chambersadoption.blogspot.com. God Bless!
