Do any of you ever dream about what you would name your foster child should you get to adopt them??? I have had a name for Baby stuck in my head since he was very small. His current name (both first and middle) are names that do not reflect what we think about Baby at all. Ok...his middle name is so off the wall and it means "a slender man." Personally we believe that name meanings are very significant! With Baby's stature this could be very true of him, who cares...we can see the physical with our eyes, I want something more significant!
Like I said, I have had a first name in my head for well over a year a now. Hubby agrees and I may have slipped it to a couple of friends recently, but the middle name is still to be determined SHOULD WE GET TO ADOPT BABY!!! Let me tell you...those words give me chills. Up until yesterday I thought our opportunity to permanently add him to our family was gone. I had come to terms with that....BUT GOD seems to possibly have other plans for our Baby!
Don't worry, I'm not a delusional woman! I know full well that the judge could totally still decide that Baby be placed with his aunt/uncle, but there is HOPE and with hope comes my dreams of one day calling my Baby by the name that we believe is more fitting of our sweet boy!
Now...off to dream of a middle name for our little champ! :)
Sharing the life experience of becoming foster parents to the least of these!

Already dreaming with you!!!! :)

I am so happy for you :) - One More With. Us
Our family picks one name for our kiddos and we keep a name from the bio-parent (if its not off the wall). Its a small connection with the people who gave them life (praise God they weren't aborted). I try to remember that someday when they are all grown up, they may want to know their bio's and they may be the "missionaries" to their bio-families that can tell them about Jesus. I know ultimately our earthly job is to share the love of Jesus so all can come to know Him.... but my "flesh" says NO WAY ~ I don't want to share my kiddos EVER with anyone!!! Yes, God has been working on me about who these children belong too :o) I'm not fond of the bio's now, but I know the He can change their lives. Who knows, someday they may be amazing godly people ~ I pray this for them so it will be a healthy relationship if by chance that my kiddos want contact with them in the very far far off future. Sorry so long of a comment.... LOVE your blog! Blessings, Denise
