Update on the visit with the Social Worker

The meeting with the social worker (we will call him Mr. B) went well yesterday. As I had assumed, it was mostly just a meeting for him to get to know us. . . sort of a "who are these people who want to adopt 6 children out of the foster system all at once?" LOL!

Mr. B is a believer and totally has a heart for the children. Praise the Lord! We have seen so many *bad* things/parts/people within the foster system, that it is refreshing and wonderful to know that Mr. B is working on behalf of these children and making the decisions that will affect all of us!

We didn't really glean a lot of new information, but it was good to talk about some of the different issues and considerations with Mr. B. and I think he was able to hear our hearts and get a good idea of what our family is like. Hopefully this will really help him as he continues in the process of finding one or more permanent adoptive homes for these children.

We would love to know that you are praying for us and for these children. We truly desire God's best for them - a place where they can heal and find Him, a place where they can know they are loved, a safe place where they can be free from the adultness that life has thrown at them too early - whether that is our home or not. Thank you for partnering in prayer with us as we seek to glorify Him!

Jen,

What!? I had no idea you were adopting SIX! We will be praying for you! Are they a sibling group that want to be kept together or are you adopting 6 individual children? Jenn, you are Jeff are brave, and your faith in God is amazing!

In Christ, Laura
