A day to celebrate


*** Taking a short break from writing about our journey with the boys adoption to update you on some great news on on the foster care end of things....***


Taevion and T'aeja's case went before a Montgomery County judge this morning at 9:00 to have their goal changed from being re-unified with their parents to adoption. This is a huge step for them as they come closer to being placed with their forever family. We also found out that their mom signed over her parental rights which means we can give Taevion a hair cut!!! I have grown to love his little Willis frow ("whatch a talkin' about willis?) but it will be so much nicer for him to have his hair short so that it's not as painful when we brush it. Not to mention that it will be cooler for him too! I know that Stan and Dawn (Lametri's foster parents) are really excited about cutting Lametri's hair. No more corn rows!!!!!!!


My heart can't help but ache for their mom as she has now given over rights to the state. It is so sad but at least the babies will know that she wanted a better life for them and didn't drag out the process. It sounds like their dad is going to appeal the judge's decision of their adoption goal but we're not too worried about it. God already knows the outcome and where He wants these children to be. He knows who their forever family is and we take refuge in the fact that we have a Sovereign God.


So, even though the Taes have no idea what today means for them, they have much to be thankful for. Our caseworkers and the kids attorney have done an amazing job of working on behalf of the kids and doing things with their best interest in mind. We are so thankful for all of these people!!!!!
