Wonder of Wonders, Miracle of Miracles
Wow; I'm dumbfounded, in awe, and amazed at this last turn of events in our journey with God. Just as my heart was approaching a more stable place, with the ache of having to say "good-bye" becoming lest painful every day, He's asking me to soften up so I can say "hello" again. Wonder of wonders, Will is coming back into our lives, and his happy homecoming will take place in less than 48 hours. After having him in their lives for almost two weeks, his birth parents decided that it's better for them - and for him - to be a part of our family once again. This time, they say that they are 100% certain, but we all know how things can change, so I solicit your prayers again, for them, for us, for the baby, and for this next section on the roller coaster of life. Here's hoping that this next part of the story transitions to a smoother ride; maybe God will let us switch to the log ride - that's much more my pace. More to follow. Love to you all.

Wow! I'm praying right now!!! I know losing Will was extremely hard on you guys...who knows...maybe this was the only way the birth parents could ever really know for sure they were doing the right thing...God is good!
Oh my. Praise God and oh my. Love you all.

I'm so happy to hear your good news.
Oh Ashley, all I know to say is that God is good and He provides for His people.
Praying for you friend. Love you.
What wonderful news! Praying Will is back in your arms soon!
Oh my! How exciting! I agree that this must have been Gods way of letting Will's birth parents really make the right decision on who should bring up such a wonderful blessing. I continue to hope and pray that this all works out for Will and for you guys. Can't stop smiling and can't wait to meet him. Love and miss seeing you guys.
For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you! Jeremiah 29:11 & 12
Gods plan is to have Will in your family! His promises are so awesome--sometimes they just don't happen the way we had planned. But in the end--your family can all say that "God is sooooo Good!"
I'm jumping for joy for you all right now!!!!! Literally!
Wonderful news. I will be praying for your family, as well as the birth family. God is good!

I hope for Will's sake that this adoption goes through. That being said, I cannot imagine the anquish that his birthparents must feel. If they follow through with this decision, they will have demonstrated a maturity and agape love of Will to do what is in his best interest. The birthparents will need continued prayers as well, and maybe this beautiful child will have a positive impact on their spiritual lives. My hope is that we all help one another get to heaven. We are all just stewards while living on earth, and here's wishing your family the opportunity & privilege of rearing this little boy. In all things, may God's will be done.
What wonderful news! it's the best thing i have heard in a week (or maybe a month!)praise God!
Oh, Ashley! I am so happy and excited for you all! I wondered if this would happen. You all (including Will and his birth parents)have been in my prayers. You will continue to be in my prayers....I can't wait to meet Will. Love to you ALL!
