taking time off from blogging for a bit, but thought i'd mention that our medicals are tomorrow morning at 10.00 am. i'm really annoyed with myself, cause i sent out a big prayer letter to my friends and asked people to pray for the medical assessments but *wrote* that they were "this thursday, 23 november"
NOVEMBER???? i ask you. what was my brain doing? am i really living three months behind? that doesn't bode well. so now that people won't generally be praying until christmas time (by which time we're hoping the whole assessment will be over) if you rembmer us tomorrow, could you send a word skyward?
here's the excerpt from the letter. thanks, friends:
* We have our medicals this Thursday 23 February (edit,DOH) at 10 am. This is obviously a worry for us (me particularly), where I will need to be able to trust the doctors (GP and neurologist) and the wisdom of the adoption agency's decision maker. We are hoping that it is very unlikely, but we are very aware that there is the possibility that the whole adoption process could stop here. Having a progressive illness like MS does not automatically preclude someone from adopting, however the reality of having a chronic and progressive illness and the impact it could have on family life is certainly weighed up against our ability to cope as parents.
* We also pray that mrdots' (edit, not real name ;-) medical has no surprises.
* Please pray for wisdom for the doctor, the agency, the social workers, and for our ability to trust that God is in control of this situation.
* Pre-adoption classes start next month.
* Also please pray that we don't allow the assessment process to overwhelm us.
