more children for me?

So this might be a prayer request. But I honestly don't know which way to ask you, my blogger friends, to pray.

Red's bio cousins have again appeared on the horizon for us. They have been removed from one parent and social services was attempting to place with another parent - but that isn't going well. I informed the SW that we want them if there is no immediate family for them.

Here's the kicker - the little boy is the same age as my Red (age 3) and the little girl just turned one. I honestly think that they should be together.

I am an ancient mother - age 49 LOL. Would I be crazy? Sir assures me that I'd only be crazy for a couple of years.

They may not be offered to us (although someone will have to explain to me why) yet - I'm not sure if I want them offered....

ARGHH the mental agony.

Then Sir reminds me: God will do what He desires for these children..... if He wants them with us - my agony of indecision won't matter a bit.

If we're offered them - we'll take them.

So pray .... for what? Pray for God's will for these two little ones....

WAITING to find out what will happen is always hard - but it must also be hard on them! Praying God's will for them and your family.

We were in a similar situation.
We DID get custody of our nephew, and after 6 1/2 years the adoption has just been finalized. We will be praying for wisdom and God's will to be clear.

And you can guess which way I'll be praying! What the world needs is more crazy old moms!!! :-)

By the way, I just spent the last 10 minutes reading over your posts from the last couple of weeks. The yelling one made me cry I was laughing so hard.

You definitely need 2 more kids to yell at!

Egads! This reminds me of my house! I can agonize over which way to go on something and my husband comes along and reminds me that God is in control!

I'll be praying for God's will to be done with the 2 little ones and you and your whole wonderful family!

I love your heart! =D

Wow...I will pray for you! What an exciting (and maybe a little scary!) prospect.
