The good news is that Jennifer signed under Utah law which means that, as far as Matthew's birth mother is concerned, he is 100% ours.
The bad news is that I was speaking with our lawyer today and, unfortunately, the potential birth father told the hospital social worker that he intends to get a lawyer and fight for his rights.
We still know that God is in control.
Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your Name!
ReplyDeleteThis must be so hard, the not knowing what is going to happen. You are surrounded by LOVE =)
I'm singing it with you.
ReplyDeleteKeep your focus on what you KNOW, not what you FEEL. You guys are doing a great job in this hard time. There is an entire congregation waiting to welcome you and Matthew and Garrett back home. Troy will have to do in the meantime. :) J
