Donna J,

Yesterday was Hubby’s birthday, he considered it a wonderful present! I would think having the adoption finalized at Christmas would be wonderful as well.

Mumsee: Praise God.

A couple in my church just learned their hearing to finalize the adoption of their baby girl will be held on the morning of Dec. 24.

The court clerk was concerned that might be a “bad” day for them due to the holiday. But they said it was a perfect day. They couldn’t think of a better family Christmas gift.

Thank you, all, we are rejoicing. And we started homeschooling two of them right after the pizza party but the other three had to return to school, one by choice and two for state reasons.

As for older brother, he continues to have his self imposed challenges, their older brother is now in juvie again so the pressure is off of the one we had for a bit. The kids write to the older brothers but do not get letters in reply.

On the other hand, they got phone calls today from three of their new older sibs so were well welcomed into the family.

Mumsee, Congratulations!

This thread really is about weeping with those who weep and rejoicing with those who rejoice.

It is heartening to hear good things in these very challenging times.

Make it Man,
I am sorry. These really are tough times… I pray that as unlikely as this sounds, that God would turn this around for you and your boss and that this could become a really wonderful season for the both of you.

Times are tough. No one has looked at our house at all and my husband and I have already been separated for 2 months. (I think)

Mumsee,
That’s great news! Congratulations! That must really be a relief.

Contented,
You are so right. The only reason we have population growth is because of immigrants. If we had not killed our children in the womb, then this country would most likely be more productive also. But probably the same attitudes have done away with both production and reproduction.

I hear a lot of Latinos are headed south because they can’t find work…

Yea, Mumsee.
BTW, we’re looking some good books on adoption for our son. Do you have any recommendations?

Mumsee – I am so happy for you & for the kids. Does this mean you can start homeschooling soon?

What has become of their older brother, who started out with you but was moved elsewhere?
