Whew!

What a week it has been. We are busy preparing to be gone in case this adoption goes through. Things are looking good so far. Birth mom goes to the doctor tomorrow and her worker will meet with her this week to finish up the paperwork on her end. We need the birth father to be named and to sign his rights over and agree to the adoption. Otherwise, that could put us at legal risk for 30 days while they exhaust efforts to find him. If all goes well with the birth mom, she will sign paperwork 72 hours after the baby is born and that is it. No waiting period...no turning back and we sigh a big sigh of relief.

Jordan had a few friends in on Friday night and Paulo and Ju joined us for the evening. We have our mission trip to Brazil mapped out for August, 2009. It is very exciting!

Lance fixed the deck and did some other "honey -do" projects this weekend. THEN...he woke up rather sick this morning. Chills, fever, cold symptoms...he is misserable. As if we are not busy enough...he has to get sick. He still has post -class papers and reading to do. YIKES!

Well, I'm going to get some work done so I can take Jordan to Youth Group later.

Please continue to pray for our birth mom, our baby and the adoption in general. And please pray that Lance feels better soon (and that Jordan & I stay healthy). Thank you!
