Alex


The court date that was suppose to happen today is not going to happen. We have been put off till July 18th. The court appointed attorney for the biological father asked for more time. I am a little bummed about it, I wanted it to be over. I think everyone that would read my blog knows the story, but here is the short version. We have had Alex since he was 18 months old and he will be 6 on June 21st. We have been trying to adopt and the mother (who is my sister) has signed off and the BF had to be notified and he was given 30 days to respond, five days before his time was up he sent papers saying he did not want us to adopt. When Alex was a baby I took him to see the BF and gave him my phone # and address, and he never made any attempt to contact. So, we are not sure where this is all going. I am just praying that Judge Corlew will see him for what he is. He is in prison and has been most of his life. He is only doing this because he is mad at my sister, and has nothing to do with Alex. I know that there is purpose in all of this and I am definitely learning to be patient. I know that God has had His hand on this from the beginning and that He is going to take care of this, but to be honest the waiting is driving me bananas. I want him to be my legal son NOW. OK I feel better. I am asking all my blog friends to pray, specifically for Judge Corlew.

Mandi. I will pray for you all. Alex, the Judge, & the BF, too. I know that God will take care of this situation, but I also know that it can be really hard to wait on his timing. I pray for a peace for your heart while you wait.
