Daddy's Little Girl

Trying to Sleep :)

Daddy is the BEST pillow

Adelle was experiencing vomiting and diahrrhea last week. Tuesday, we had a follow up doctor appointment to the other appointments she had last week. She is feeling better, and now weighs 7 pounds, 4 ounces. Her diaper rash that she had is getting better, and we are so thankful!

Sunday night, we had supper with Adelle's foster family. Tuesday night, we had supper with them and attended a prayer meeting at their house. We have been so blessed by them! The have provided physical resources as well as a listening ear. They have provided a good social outlet when we need it, as well.

The family that we (Adam and Alicia) are staying with has also been a blessing. We eat supper with them almost every night. They have let us use their washer and dryer for laundry, and been very open with their home. We are so glad to call them friends!

We have beeen going out to eat about once a day, and it has been interesting to see how different people react to Adelle. They usually want to know about her red hair, and since we don't have an abundance of pink onesies with us, we are using a pink blanket from someone in the church we have been going to here in Ohio to make sure eveyone knows she is a girl!

We had a meeting last night with Adelle's guardian ad litum, the person who represents her best interests before the court. She was a very nice lady and explained to us how things might go today, and the steps the lawyers have been working on to get cooperation from Adelle's bith father. She said she was recommending adoption to the court, so we were very happy for that.

Adelle's court date for termination of parental rights was today. They were not able to terminate rights, because the birth father has not signed the paper work that he needs to. This is a big prayer request. The new court date is set for November 10th. At that court date, we are praying that the signed papers are in hand OR that we have favor with the judge, and he says we have done enough to notify the birth father, and rights can be terminated.

Praises:

1. Excellent lawyers

2. Favor with Adelle's guardian

3. Adelle's foster family

4. The family Adam and Alicia are staying with

Prayer Requests:

1. For Birth Father to sign papers
2. For Adelle to get 100% healthy
3. For opportunities to be a blesssing to the people who are blessing us here in OH
