PRAYING

We are asking for everyone to please pray for our friends, they are in need of a miracle right now!!! They have been trying to adopt their little boy for 3 years. Their son Greyson was born in Ohio where the birthmother gave up her rights. Our friends live in Indiana, and that is where Greyson has lived his whole life with our friends, their son and daughter. They have had Greyson since he was born. When he was 17months old, Greyson's birthfather came forward saying he wanted his son. Our friends have been in a court battle ever since, Greyson is about to turn 3 the end of Oct. Apparently the courts in Ohio are disreguarding adoption laws and are granting the birthfather custody of Greyson (even though this birthfather showed no interested in Greyson the first 17 months of his life and the birthfather has a criminal record including assault and drug use). Yesterday our friends lost their court battle in Indiana (they had already lost in Ohio) and they now have 48 hours to turn Greyson over. I cannot imagine what our friends must be going through it is BREAKING my heart both for them and for Greyson. I cannot imagine taking a 3yr old from the only family and home he has ever known. Our friends are devastated, and of course their other two children are beyond confused, I can't understand why this is happening and then having to try and make sense of it for the two children?! I don't understand what the judges reasoning is. PLEASE keep this family in your thougths and prayers!!! THANK YOU! Below is a link to a local television station that aired our friend's story on the news last night.

    Oh my!!! I am so heartbroken for this family and this little boy. We lost our Abbie after 3 months and it was hard enough. I can't imagine giving her up after 3 years. My thoughts and prayers are with this couple! I will also post prayer requests on a couple of forums as well.
