I just got back from a wonderful visit with Mary, Mark and their little guy! Watching them be parents warms my heart and fills it with joy!
While I was there, the parental rights of the birth mother were terminated by the court. No father has come forward so the rights of the 'unknown' father were also terminated and the Grandmother was also denied her request for custody. My heart sings for Mary and Mark and all of us, but it aches for the poor birth mother and her family. Drugs are such a tragedy. I am sure she wants to do better but is too controlled by her habit. I pray for her that she will get her life together but I also know that Mary and Mark's home will be the best place for the little guy to be raised. What a blessing for him and for all of us to have this sweet addition to our family. Hopefully this summer it will all be final!
