We very much want to add to our family.

We have four adopted children. Our sons and youngest daughter were our foster children who became available for adoption. Foster parenting became too difficult -- the pain of children leaving and reunifying with their birth families was traumatic, at best.    

The last child we added is the 1/2 sibling of the two boys. She was still living with the birth mother. The birth mother passed away suddenly and the extended birth family contacted us and asked us to parent.

I am having trouble Letting Go and Letting God. I feel that a similar situation will come up again, perhaps with one of our former foster children or with an identified situation through family/friends, but that I am not being patient or letting it happen in God's time. Perhaps that's even why I'm having this overwhelming desire to add more.

Most sane people would say that adoption doesn't "just happen." You need to apply somewhere or something. Being the sensible girl that I am, we have filled out forms for an agency that matches families with waiting foster children throughout the U.S. (A Child's Waiting) I haven't sent in the forms.

I am looking for clarity on this issue and praying that we are able to discern God's Will with regard to more children. Please keep our intention in your prayers.

Praying for you, Sharon. It is so hard to wait on God's timing (for me). May the Holy Spirit guide you and make His Will clear. There is a prayer to the Holy Spirit that a wonderful nun gave me years ago: Holy Spirit, come to the aid of my weakness and intercede for me according to the mind of God. I pray it often when I am in doubt.

You have such a beautiful gift from God to be open to parenting. God Loves you and will be with through every decision.
