Greek Chat--we need your prayers!

carnation · #1 07-12-2001, 08:27 AM

Okay, y'all, I'm going to post a request here--I've never seen one like it but we need your help! Today the courts in another state will decide who gets to adopt 3 little girls. We just found out we're finalists; the lawyer likes us but the state just wants to give them to the grandmother across the country. Now the state had decided months ago that the grandmother wasn't a fit parent so I don't understand it...but this kind of thing is not uncommon in adoption.

Please, GCers, pray with us that we will get these little girls! They need a home so much and we would love and cherish them!

I just said a prayer to St. Jude. Will complete this with a prayer to Mary, the greatest Mother of all times.

Carnation-
What a wonderful thing for you, your husband and family to do; adopt. I will pray for you and hope the outcome is as you would want. I just know you would make such loving and supportive parents for the girls...you already are to your own children.
Let us know asap.

Carnation,

You are in my thoughts and prayers tonight. God works in mysterious ways...I am sure that everything will turn out for the best.

My prayers are with your family! It is such a wonderful thing you do!!

I've often thought that after I get married I will adopt a child. So many children need homes, I would love to help out even just one!

Carnation, you are a true "angel"

You are the greatest. My thoughts are with you.

Car- I am sending you all the best and saying many prayers for your family. I so truely admire you and your family, to love unselfishly so many kids (12 right?) and still have room to love more. Ya'll are god's people, doing god's work. I know you and your husband have had to sacrifice to make your home a home for so many deserving children. I hope that someday I am able to provide half the love and dedication to my family that you so obviously provide to yours. You rock. You are an inspiration. I am sure it will work out, but remember, "not MY will, but THY will."

All my love-
lifesaver
