Okay, maybe that title wasn't fair, but my twin sister found out on Thursday that she is having a baby girl come mid-July. I am tickled pink...no pun intended. Ken and I just returned from Hilton Head on today after a four day getaway. What a blast we had and what a joy to have access to a Gymboree and Baby Gap Outlet in order to buy some cute outfits for the new baby girl. We are so excited to be adding another girl to the clan since there is only one currently among 11 nephews...yes eleven. So now you probably understand my level of excitement.
Well, it is offiicial, on Tuesday, Ken and I had our third and final visit with our social worker for the home studies. It was not at all like I thought it would be which was a welcomed blessing. From here, we will do some back and forth editing between the agency and our social worker before it heads to the State of NC for approval. Ken and I are so happy to have this behind us and closer to the baby that God has waiting for us.
Unfortunately, Ken and I are now getting some religious opposition to our adoption...scriptures that state that no woman should be barren. I do not believe that, but that is another post. I would love to hear from you Christian ladies that chose to adopt after infertility. And to Shawnda, thank you for your support on the issue and wisdom...it was so appreciated...love you girl!
You all be blessed!

Ok - that was totally not fair, I read it and got all excited for you. :) I don't quite understand the religious opposition, I guess I will have to wait for that post. I'd like to hear the sciptures they are using. Even if someone is saying anything about women not being barren, I don't get the opposition since there is so much scripture supporting adoption.... anyway, I'll wait for your post and respond. :)
I'm with Deanna I have to wait for your post to totally understand what you are talking about.
Congratulations to your sister and your whole family on the new baby girl! I have to say though that the title was so unfair! LOL!!!!!!
Yeah, I'm curious what scripture is backing up such opposition too. And I'm so thankful that your process seems to be scooting right along. And congrats to your sister and family!
Yeah : ) I agree, the title wasn't fair, but I had a little head's up from your email : ) So, I was somewhat ready for that : ) Oh, Nakira, you are sweet - praise be to the Lord for any support you have felt!!! You are a precious sister in Christ, and I look forward to many more conversations with you!!! So thankful your time away was so sweet and relaxing!!!
We have all been adopted into the Kingdom of God as His children. I think God's very much into adoption! Also, it's important to remember that Jesus came as a fulfillment to the law so many Old Testament scriptures must be understood in that context.
I'm so glad you're adopting children. I think that in doing so, you and Ken will have an understanding of who God is that is not possible for people who conceive children.
