Dear friends and family,

We have felt your prayers! God has given us peace and we have enjoyed being
with this precious biological family. The baby is doing great and is very
alert and obviously as brillant as his older brother.

But we are needing MUCH PRAYER right now!!

I talked to the grandmother this AM and the mother is having a hard time
this morning emotionally. Understandably so, today is the day that the baby
comes home from the hospital with us. Both the grandmother and mother both
needs LOTS OF PRAYER. I know you guys will pray!

We also need much prayer that she will not change her mind over the next 13
days! This will be an important bonding time for me and the baby and I pray
that nothing changes that! It is SO hard to have so much joy in my heart
for us and yet at the same time hurt SO much for this precious woman. She
loves this baby so much and knows that she can't possibly care for
him....but I don't want emotions to get in the way of the facts.

Please continue to pray for peace of mind for all involved and especially
for the transfer this evening around 6pm to be smooth and easy for all
involved. Please also pray that over the next days and weeks that the
birthmother will find comfort in the Lord and that her family and friends
will totally support her in this!

We thank each and every one of you for your continued prayers and know that
you will be praying!

We love you!

Lori (Jody and Alex)
