Interesting Monday: Happy News From A Hospital Room

November 17, 2008 in Raising Kids

We got a phone call at 2:30 this morning and Debbie headed right out to the hospital to see the birth parents who chose our family last August to adopt their child.

As I write this, I’m looking at a happy adoptive mom feeding my new son.

He is sweet and cute and we praise God. Our other kids are excited to meet him.

His name is Foster.

Please pray for health for him and parenting wisdom for us. Please also pray for the birth mom and dad who did (and are still doing) what I assume was a very difficult thing.

Happy Mom

Wow, congratulations Jamisons! I had no idea this was in the works for you all. And I think you’re being very wise to consider the weight of the decision these birth parents are making. Leaving a hospital with empty arms is a big deal. Honoring them is a wonderful thing.

Congratulations :). What an adorable little gift!

You ARE compassionate to think of the birth parents’ feelings. What a tough decision that would be. One that would be with you, no doubt, for the rest of your life.

I’ll add my virtual thanks on top of my thanks I gave you in person tonight. May God bless your children and call some of them forth for His work around the world.
