I would like for all of you to help me pray about something. My husband and I are considering adopting a 4 year old girl who is a foster child in our church. She is a beautiful little girl, very smart. She has been in this foster home for a year or so. Before that she was in and out of this same home and her mom's home. She was removed from the home for neglect...no sexual or physical abuse, her mom just loves drugs more than her child. She is a happy child. I teach her in children's church and have no discipline problems with her. When she first came into our church I fell in love with her instantly and told my husband I wanted her in our family...but really figured she would go home and that would be the end of it. My husband loves her but has reservations about either playing favorites to her over our "baby"...he is 11...or playing favorites to our own children. I don't think that he would ever do that. He loves children and treats all the children in our church as though they were his. He is/was a teacher and really has a heart for children. Our own children are 17, 14, and 11. We want God's will in this situation. We do not want her to go to a home where she doesn't know anyone and we don't want her in a home that isn't Christian. She loves to go to church. So, I would appreciate your prayers in this situation.
Thanks,
Shawnna
