This weekend was very busy and exciting in the Fisher household!! On Saturday we had a good friend come over to take some "pre-adoption" photos of us. She did a fantastic job!! We LOVE the photos and can't wait to get them printed to put up in the house!!!
This evening while we were waiting out the storm in the basement, we noticed an email from CCHO with our first placement offer. We were super excited at the thought of our first possible placement! They knew it would be a stretch but decided to ask us anyways. The placement was for a sibling group of six little girls, ages 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9, and they are up for adoption right away! Immediately we started thinking of how we could make this work. We would need a mini van, 2 sets of bunk beds, lots of girl clothes and toys, school supplies, 4 car seats, a bigger dining room table, plus more money to feed all these mouths! After considering all these things and trying to come up with a way to make it work, we decided that it isn't the right placement for us. We wouldn't be able to give these girls all the things they need and deserve. As much as it breaks our hearts to have to say no, there is a family out there that God has chosen for these precious girls, and they are better suited to take care of them! I'm sure we will think of these girls often and wonder how they are doing! We will continue to pray that they have found a good, loving home where they could all stay together! We are going to sleep and pray on it to make sure that we are making the right decision.
We would appreciate your prays, as well, for discernment and wisdom in making the right choice now, and in the future with the next call. Also, please pray that if these are the kids that God wants us to take, that he will show how to make this work!
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!!!
Todd and Megan
