Praise GOD from whom all blessings flow...

I just got a call from our agency that our legal risk is OVER (insert HUGE sigh of relief here!).  The courts have finally signed off.
THANK YOU FOR PRAYING!!!
The day we went to get Levi, we signed one of the most horrible papers known to man.  In a nutshell, it said that we were taking a baby home with no guarantee that we would keep him. Oh my goodness.  I remember thinking as I signed that paper...OH GOD, NO.  PLEASE NO.  Especially not after our THREE previous failed adoption placements and all our fertility heartbreak.  I'M BEGGING LORD.
And for the last 2 1/2 months, I've felt that way times a MILLION.
No more of that!!!

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!

I know it's OLD SCHOOL, but it's a special song in my family. And it's been running thru my head all morning. I keep singing it to Levi, and he just smiles.

The Doxology
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.


You're ours, little boy.
And WE are the lucky ones.

The Willy Four FIVE....

levi and his crazy big sis' who can make him laugh like no other... 
 with daddy at big bro's basketball game...
 with mommy who loves him so very much....
 with mason, the baby hog(except when it comes to spit up or changing!)...
 and with Maddi again, that crazy big sis ...

We love you very much.

YEA!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy for you guys!!! Now, on to planning his big adoption day!! Oh, what a sweet day that will be!!!!!! :) It's just a confirmation of what you already know in your hearts, but to have the courts call you legally and forever HIS PARENTS...well, there's no greater feeling. And when his new birth certificate comes in the mail with YOUR names on it, oh man, you'll cry tears of joy!!!! :)

JOY!!! is ringing in my heart right now knowing that all of our prayers have been answered and Levi is home and will never leave (at least for a long time). So happy for your whole family.

Love you all,

Tears of sweet joy are falling from my eyes as I read this!!! PRAISE YOU LORD ON HIGH, PRAISE HIM! I am so very sorry we were not able to come to the shower but I pray we get to meet him soon! Love you girl! I pray in the future when we are debt free that we will be asking your advice on adoption :).

Such great news! Congrats and such a big relief. I had a horrible day yesterday and reading your post reminded me what really mattered and to turn it back into God's hands.

He is good all time time...
