We had our court date today. It was such a bittersweet feeling when Mary told me that our daughters' birthmother showed up for court and relinguished her rights. It's like being the recipient of an organ, knowing that somebody had to lose their life in order for you to live. I can't imagine the mixed emotions that their birthmom must be feeling as well--the anguish of giving up her children forever, but the joy in knowing that they will have a good life with many opportunities. Despite this, I am extremely excited to be one step closer to finalizing the adoption and bringing our daughters home to their FOREVER family!
My oldest son, Nathan, and I are spending our week helping out as volunteers at a sportreach camp at our church. We get to play all day with the children and sneak in some witnessing here and there. It's been good to get out of the house and keep busy. Although, I did carry my phone with me all day while waiting for the phone call from Mary with an update on court. What an exciting day!
