Plan B.

This is it.

Tim and Olivia are packed and ready to go.

The time has finally come to bring our son home.

Will you please join us as we prayer for:

*Maxwell and his tender heart. May God ease his heartache as he transitions away from the only home he’s ever known. May he come to understand our love and commitment to him. 

* For health, energy and endurance as Tim and Olivia travel 23 hours to Maxwell's province. May the Lord place his protective hand upon them.

* For the rest of the children as they wait patiently at home for their new little brother.

And 

 

As I look at the sweet little baby pictures of Maxwell

that were included in his child material...

 

 ...I am deeply humbled,

because I truly know that Tim and I are plan B.

Maxwell has a birth mother.

A woman who loved him so much

that she gave him up so that he could have 

the medical care he so desperately needed.

And in a perfect world,

he would still be with her.

But this is a fallen world.

And Maxwell needs and deserves to be part of a family,

and we are incredibly privileged to be plan B.

So,

will you please join us as we pray

for Maxwell's birth mother.

*That she is well and the circumstances that caused her to give up her child have improved.

*That she will find comfort from the ache that comes with giving up a child.

*That she will somehow know that her child is safe and will be loved by a family.

*That one day she will be adopted...through Jesus Christ...into the family of God.
