Two months ago we started a process with little E to try to get him into a temporary foster care situation while his mom goes through some treatment and recovery. It has been slow going! We thought for awhile that it would be quick… but nothing around here is quick :) I did the wrong thing a few times, we had to do some backtracking, things got all mixed up. There have been trips to pick up paperwork and many conversations with the lawyer. The lawyer has faithfully fought this for us spending many mornings in the courthouse with the family court judge. But at last……… we have a court date!
I have learned an important lesson… don’t too excited until it actually happens :) And we don’t know for sure that E will go to his new home this exact day. But, like I’ve said before, every little thing is one step closer.
I am begging you for prayers! Please pray for G, little E’s mom. She has to go before the judge and tell him that she is unable to care for her baby who she loves. She will be asking the judge to place him with a wonderful family that we know and love. She feels good about this and has expressed over and over again that this is what she wants. I am just asking that you pray for her on October 10th at 10am as she walks into that room and feels like her heart is breaking in half… that she would be able to have the strength to do what is best for her and her son. Its going to be a bitter-sweet day I think.
