I need a lot of prayers right now. I don't want to go into my story again, but up to 6 1/2 years ago, my life was not what it is now.

About 30 minutes ago I was served with custody papers by the father of my soon to be 6yo son. One of the items mentioned is "he wants the ability to decide any and all education".

I do already have an attorney, and when I went through the papers again I realized that the father doesn't even know where our son was born, as both the city and the county are wrong.

I just really, really need some prayers right now. I want what is best for my son, and I do believe that is living with his sister, myself, and my husband. I also believe that homeschooling is the right thing for my son and for our family.

And if anyone has any advice, it would be much appreciated.

Praying, Paula, and wishing I had advice for you. I'll storm Heaven...your prayers for my s-i-l gave me such peace of mind, I am happy to have the chance to pray for you. I just wish it was under better circumstances.

Paula,
I am so sorry that you are going through this. I will pray that the father will come to see what is best for your son and drop this.

HUGS and PRAYERS from Northern California coming your way! More than anything........I pray you get a sympathetic judge (towards you)......they seem to have so much unbelievable power sometimes in these cases. Praying for a positive outcome!
