Approaching another step...

So we got news this week that Mateo’s case is moving forward another step! On November 30 (or tomorrow) the DNA testing and social work interview will be done. Usually these are done separate and the birth mom needs to come in two times but we are thankful that they can be done at the same time. Mateo will actually see his birth mom because a picture needs to be taken of them together. I have been thinking a lot about this and my heart is very heavy for this young lady. I don’t think she had seen Te since he was relinquished at 8 days old, I can’t imagine how hard this is going to be for her. It also makes me nervous because this is the second of four times that she has to sign off on the adoption. At any point in the adoption she can decide to parent. It is also a reminder to me that though we already love this little by he is not ours. He is the Lords and we have to trust God’s sovereignty and his grace. He is in control and we are praying his will continues to be done. That doesn’t mean that it is easy or that I don’t tend to obsess about it at times but it does keep me sane. We covet your prayers tomorrow as this next step is taken to bring this precious boy home. Thank you!
