I took down the pictures I had up on the wall of this boy. It was really painful to see him and pray for him and yet not be able to run forward to adopt him.
I didn't want to talk about him, but my children were in the habit of praying for him nightly so we continued to do that as a family. I began to question if I was wrong and this was someone else 's son. I didn't bring up that idea of adopting him but prayed hard in my heart for him.
Unexpectedly my husband brought him up to me not that he was ready to move forward but that he was prayerfully beginning to seek God and listen as He leads... WOW, is that a mountain getting ready to move?!
Wisely, this time, I prayed harder and shut up.
