Help
I am asking prayer for our little foster baby Zoey. She was placed with us at 2 days old. Her mom left the hospital 20 min after delivery testing positive for meth and has come to one visitation. Mom has given up 4 other children. Zoey's bio dad is in jail, but wants her. There were relatives that wanted her, but now they have all dropped out. Zoey is 3 months old now. If they will allow us we want to adopt her. I am asking you to pray that if it is God's will that the Dad will allow us to adopt her, the guardian ad litem favors us and that is very important. She is going to ask him to release Zoey and he can have visitation rights. I never thought we would have a chance until yesterday morning and we are cautiously excited if this works out. Just asking if you will pray that God protect this beautiful happy baby. The side effects from drugs seems to be cleared up.

Prayers here for the Lord to place Zoey where she needs to be. Prayers for all of you during the process and waiting. I'm sure it's tough not knowing yet what decision the Dad will make.

I pray that God gives her a safe and loving forever family. I also pray that he gives you the strength and wisdom to accept his will. As an adoptive mom of a drug baby, I know that either way, you will have moments where you question his decision. Good luck to all of you, especially little Zoey. hugs, Monica

update on Zoey, because the mom's relatives all backed out then the bio dad's side is being asked to take her and there is an aunt in Las Vegas that is interested. You praying for Zoey has meant the world to me and I just want her in the best home and family. If the aunt is not approved then we have the best chance. The dad wants her, but he has serious issues with substances. I trust the Lord to cover Zoey with His protection and I am going to keep on praying. She is absolutely beautiful and loves to laugh at our other little children. Court is next month. Thank you for remembering this little baby.

Continuing to pray for a good outcome for little Zoey, Dixie. I've been in your place so many times and I know the angst it brings to our hearts! God Bless You for being there for this very special little girl.
