I am having a hard time waiting for God to speak to my husband about my desire to adopt. I have been feeling a very strong nudge from God to adopt a little boy who is blind that I met through my work with special needs kids. I won't explain the whole thing but the more I've found out about his situation (2 failed opportunities for adoption, timing of our meeting, etc.) I just know that God intends for our family to embrace this little guy. Anyway, although I've been going through this decision making process of praying and researching,etc. my husband seems to be sort of trying to put it off. I asked him to either contact a social worker at the Lutheran agency that I want to use or to contact friends of ours who are adopting 3 kids (already have 6 bio). He said he would but he hasn't. He just keeps saying that he's not feeling the call. He also says that he's afraid we don't have enough time with the children we already have but I can't understand that because outside of our jobs (I'm blessed to only work half time) and our church work(which mostly involves the kids) that's all we do is spend time with our kids and we love it that way. I'm trying so hard not to push that we rarely talk about it at all. I've told him everything I know about the financial aspects of caring for this boy - his adoption would be subsidized and he would continue to receive assistance after adoption since he's disabled, etc. I just don't know what else to tell him. For me, it's a God thing, I just do things that I feel God would have me do. It's that simple. How could I go wrong. All children are blessings and I've seen the extraordinary blessing that special needs children can be. Please pray for guidance for us and patience for me and pray for this little boy to have whatever God has planned for him.
God Bless you all for what you've already done for the children God has blessed you with.
Thanks.
