Some more info...

Hello everyone! I just thought I would give you a little update.
First of all Kasi is doing great! Amazing! I didn't really expect anything different though. God has been so good to her and all of us through this process that we are living in His goodness everyday. The joy He has given can't ever be stolen. He just keeps adding to it daily. And through everything that we have in front of us we know "it will be okay". Always!
So the update on little Amari. He is a little more then 5 lbs now. He was born a little more than 6 lbs, but he had stomach surgery a couple of days ago. He is doing great and back at his foster home. He had pyloric stynosis, for those of you who know the medical stuff a little bit. I do know what this is because it is the very first surgery that Kasi had as a baby. Kasi's of course was a little more complicated and after Kasi had her surgery at 5 weeks she stopped breathing and such. That is when we found out about all of her heart stuff. Needless to say, Kasi wasn't out of the hospital for a long time after that surgery. The fact that Amari is back at the foster home means everything is great! I am happy about that. I know that even though we are not there to love on him, God is where Amari is and is loving him more than we ever could.
We will be able to meet Amari in about 2 weeks. There are things that have to take place with the courts first before we can start our meetings with him. I understand this too, and I know that it is a long process because we went through this with our little Ben too. It is okay though because it will be faster than in Ben's case. Ron and I are starting our foster licensing either today or tomorrow. We will be working on that for a bit, but we will be able to have Amari in our home before that is complete. That is exciting news for sure! We are praying that he will be with us within 2 months. So, here is the subject of prayer and praise. Praise because God is faithful. I know some people think we are crazy for doing this, but I am young yet! And the fact that this little guy was known by God before his existence means God knew where Amari needed to go as well. So, when God chose us for Ben, He chose us for Amari as well! We are His and these little ones are His too!
I would love it if you could pray for protection over Amari too! He will be with his birth mom for supervised visits. This is if she shows up. It would be good for all of us if she didn't show up. It would just make things move along faster, but Christina needs prayers too. Pray for her mind to be open and for her to realize that the best thing for Amari is to be with his brother. If she does that, everything would be over quickly. Right now she is contesting Amari being taken from her. She is not saying she is going to change, she is just saying "I want my baby". God is good and in the middle of it all. Pray, Pray and pray some more. Where ever God leads you in this case!
I think that is all for now! We are looking forward to a new little one here soon! We are going to be painting and moving furniture around! We are in need of a new born car seat. This is our first real need! It has to be less than 5 years old, really 4 because we are going to be using it for the next year.
Have a great day! Thank you for reading this and praying with us! Celebrate who God is! Be AMAZED!!!
