Thank you to all who prayed, and are praying. Please KEEP praying!
This bit of news broke my heart: Malachi's birth parents both want Malachi to be with the Michael & Lisa, but in Wednesday's court session their parental rights were taken away. Malachi's birth mother was at the hearing and cried throughout the court session. (Can you imagine being a birth mother, crying because you don't want your child raised by the ones adopting him?)
The judge will be the one to decide whether Michael & Lisa can even attempt to adopt Malachi. If the judge says they cannot try to adopt Malachi, the case will be closed and Malachi will be adopted by the Lesbian couple. If she says they can attempt to adopt him, they will have to wait for another court date about the removal of Malachi from the lesbian couple and his being brought back to them. The one positive thing which happened in the court session was that Malachi's guardian ad litem recommended that Malachi be placed back in a "traditional home" to prevent long-term damage to him. When the judge indicated that she wanted more time to go over the paperwork, she did not give any indication about when she would make her decision known.
The family, including my friends Travis & Jennifer, requests that we continue praying that God would have mercy on Malachi and bring him back to be raised by His people in a God-fearing and faith-based home.
