I don't know if you guys have ever had this before, but I thought I might throw it out as a place to share concerns that people have that need a push from the heavenly realm.
We have had two foster children for 20 months. Parental rights are cut in both instances, so we have been trying to adopt them both. However, SRS has other ideas, thinking that it is best to place them both with relatives, no matter how obscure. Well, we need God's help in a hearing due for late this month, so we are requesting your prayers for this situation. Thanks and god bless!

Take it to the Lord in prayer. I am true believer that God can helps through the good and bad times.
Everything is possible if we believe and keep the faith. Please let us know the day of your hearing so that we all be in prayer lifting up you and your family.
God bless you!
We got a little prayer wheel rolling...
Prayers coming from here
here also
I'll pitch in.
BTW...good idea for a thread.
This is in my regular round of petitions. :)
I have a cautious wife that does not want me to give too much information away about the case, Twinsmom98. So I can't give the specific date, but it is next week. God has been working, and we will have some professionals in the field to testify on our behalf about the adoption going our way. Thanks to you guys for caring enough to add us to your list of prayer concerns. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
Will be praying for you! The number one problem hurdle in domestic adoption is the emphasis on biology no matter the cost to the child. Hang in there, am believing in a favorable outcome.
Okay guys and gals! I have been given a green light for a little more info about our adoption hearing. It will be April 29th between 9 and noon. Please pray that all our information will get through to the Judge in the case-that the little guy is part of our family and it would harm him to take him away this late in the game. After 20 months, there are few people that think otherwise, but they are in power in our agency. Thanks
Hey Team,
Please pray for healing for my sister-in-law, Harmony. Though young (30 ish), she has had cancer for several years, in and out of remission, but it's back now and in her bones. She is undergoing radiation treatment, but a serious infection has complicated matters. I know God has her life in His hands, and if it's not His will to heal, maybe He can relieve her pain. Thank you.
Will be praying for Harmony Zeph.
We are going to a special prayer meeting tomorrow morning and I will bring up Harmony.
I am true believer in prayer. Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. Mbrown4 tell your wife it is always good to be a little cautious.
I am going to write down the names and put them on my prayer list.
No matter how things look, remember that God can do great things!
As you may have seen under the Anniversary Weekend thread, I fell last Saturday afternoon and broke my right ankle. Four to six weeks at home says the doctor. No anniversary weekend for me. Say a prayer, please. I'd also like to ask for prayer for a woman in our church who is suffering from terminal cancer. Probably only a few days to go for her. What I am going through is nothing compared to her. She has been a brave woman. Her name is Joyce. Thanks for any and all prayers. The good Lord knows us and our needs, he takes care of us. God is good. He has a master plan that sometimes we don't always understand, but we know his plan is always better than anything we might come up with.
Ouch Junior, what a lousy turn for you. I will be bringing you up as well as your acquaintance from church.
Sorry to hear that you're laid up for a while. I know you were really looking forward to this weekend. Prayers for your quick recovery as for Joyce.
What a bummer, Junior! So sorry to hear you'll miss the big reunion. I'll be praying for both of you.
Thanks, all!
My wife and I lost our dear sister in Christ, Joyce, to cancer today. Please pray for her family. Her husband is having a difficult time with this. We will be attending her funeral Tuesday and hosting her family and our church members in our home that afternoon.
Junior, I will be praying for this family today.
I need to give you all an update of my earlier prayer request. The hearing lasted two days- Thursday and Friday-the judge to his credit wanted to hear all the evidence in the case. It was, of course, blood versus bond. We have had this little boy for 21 months of his 25 and he is part of our family. The other family is second cousins once removed and they live 12 and 1/2 hours way from his home here-very little, if any connection to him. The judge will be taking the weekend to study all the evidence and make his decision by the end of business Monday.
Please continue to pray for this situation, we feel that the move is definitely not in his best interest. It will uproot him form the only family he has ever known and his community.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family, Junior. It seems that you have a had a rough patch lately but with God's help we can conquer anything.
We just have to trust him.
That is why I believe your family will be stronger mbrownx4 and will remain in tack. I believe that you have to look at the bond that child has with the family. Blood is not always better. They could be involved in that child;s life - where were they 24 months ago? And I have some blood relatives that I would not want my children raised by!!
My daughters are just now really asking about their father. I have always been honest with them. He has not been involved in their lifes at all because he chooses not to. That is sad for them but I respect him for that - I would not want him to be a yoyo father for them.
I think we all have burdens to bear and I thank God I have a father I can call upon when they are too much for me to bear. Keep the faith and God bless.
Thanks for your support. I will pray for all of you as well. God always sets things right in the end. :)
Friends, I'm sorry to report that the judge today decided that we would have to give up our little foster boy. He will be heading out of state sometime in the next 2 weeks. I'm glad to say that we did take him to Silver Dollar City a couple of times although at his age, he probably won't remember. If you will, please keep remembering him so that he can make this adjustment with a minimum of distress or unhappiness. Thanks for your prayers.
I am incredibly sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry - I just hope they do right by the little boy. I really hope the judge looked at all the factors and not just because of the blood connection.
Again, I am so sorry and I know it will be difficult for all of you including that little boy.
My best to you and your family during this difficult time.
So sorry to hear that. I hope that they will provide him with a positive foundation and that God helps to heal your heart.
Well, its been 3 months since we lost our little foster kid, David and it has been hard. I miss him everyday and I guess that he will be in my heart for a long time. But on a positive note, this month it was finally decided that we would be able to keep the other little boy, Alex. We are praising the Lord for this and look forward to bringing him to SDC this fall. I believe that we will formally adopt him on November 20th-National Adoption Day. But I do want to thank all of you for your prayers and thoughts for us during this time. Maybe one of these trips, he'll get to meet one of ya. Until then, keep making those memories.
Prayers go out to you. Best to you and your family. Keep your faith, all will work out!
Hey mbrown,
Leave your pain at God's alter and rejoice in the blessing you have been given. Faith in the situation is the key!
Congrats on Alex!
Congratulations on Alex, and I am so sorry about David. Speaking from a similar experience I can empathize with your pain, and will be praying for your hurt to heal. God bless.
