I think of our first foster child. A drug addicted newborn picked up from the hospital on his third day of life.
Ayden was in our custody for 12 1/2 months. We did not know if he would be returned to his troubled parents, adopted by a family, or if God would clearly tell us to adopt him.
The court quickly determined he would not return to his parents and that he should be adopted, but to whom? Both parents wanted a Christian couple; the court wanted an adoption through the state, most probably to a homosexual couple.
We prayed unceasingly. Friends prayed, our church prayed.
After much prayer, God changed the judge in the morning of the determination from a judge agreeing with the state, to a Christian judge who decided to choose foster parents.
Aiden is almost 40 now and was raised in a beautiful Christian home with parents who adore him and raised him in the nurturing admonition of the Lord.
