It's a(nother) Boy!


Well, it's been quite a day over here! The first happening was a visit from Levi's caseworker. She had asked to come over and I was a bit apprehensive to say the least, as we're a week away from our 6 month mark. What was she coming over to say? Well, she said......drum roll, please........
They have ruled out Levi's relative as a potential placement!! Great news!!
*****
Want some more? Levi's Dad finally realized that he would not be able to parent successfully and signed parental termination papers. Our boy is legally free! We're now moving into current caretaker adoption!! We're so excited as the stress of the last 5 months dissipates into relief and joy.
******
As we were enjoying our good news, our caseworker called. There's an 8-month old baby boy who needs placement. It's legal risk and the case is at the very beginning. But, it could very well move into adoption, as well. We thought about how much Levi loves his baby cousin Bree and is always kind and gentle with her. The last placements were older than Levi and he didn't do well. We decided that a younger child may work out well. Half an hour later, "J" joined us!

As you can see, Levi is really smitten with "baby". We shall see where God is leading us in regards to this child's life, but for now he's safe and we're all enjoying having a little one in the house again. We'll keep you "posted"!
