It’s been awhile since I have given an update on Baby Sunshine and there is much to update!

First, let me give a brief summary of what has been going on with Baby Sunshine.

This precious baby has been the foster child of my friends Jeremy and Laura since around 2 months old. Jeremy and Laura have always had the desire to adopt Baby Sunshine, but they did not know what God’s plans were concerning this matter.

Jeremy and Laura have endured a crazy road along the way. There was a season that it looked like God was going to allow Baby Sunshine to go back to the biological parents.

Then, Baby Sunshine’s birth mother unexpectedly passed away. Towards the end of summer, Baby Sunshine’s birth father was to go to court about termination of parental rights. When he failed to show up, his parental rights were eventually terminated.

Now, Jeremy and Laura are in the process of getting the paperwork in order to be able to adopt Baby Sunshine! The adoption should happen sometime this Fall.

Their journey has been an amazing inspiration to me. Jeremy and Laura have allowed God to receive all the glory in this situation. They have put their faith in the Lord and prayed all along that God’s Will be done concerning this precious child they have loved as their own.

I have asked my readers numerous times to please pray for Baby Sunshine and that if it be God’s Will, He would allow this child to permanently join Jeremy and Laura’s family.

For the first time, it seems that God is moving in this direction and I just could not be more excited for this sweet family. There is much heartache and sorrow behind Baby Sunshine’s story and there is much redemption and joy (as with any adoption story, really).

Please continue to join me in prayer for this child. Please pray that the adoption paperwork would be processed quickly so that Baby Sunshine can be placed in a “Forever Home” with the only parents Baby Sunshine really knows: Jeremy and Laura.

Praise God for His never-ending love and mercy.
