Another Miracle Needed

Things are falling into place at world record speed in getting this move to happen. Just two major projects left. Sell this house and find Mac a home. The house is under control but Mac, not so much! Mac is my 6 year old foster son. He's been with me almost a year. I love him to death and he loves me, too. He's Sudanese and lived in a refugee camp for a long time before being brought to the US by Catholic Charities. His mother's parental rights were terminated last fall. She had been through a lot and was not able to take care of Mac.

I'm too old to adopt him. It wouldn't be fair. And he needs a Dad to help guide him. He's cute as a button so I had anticipated they would find an adoptive family fairly quickly. Then we could let Mac ease into the new home with visits, then overnights and then a final move when I move. That may not be able to happen. His adoptive case worker called yesterday and said that the issue is his citizenship. He's not a US citizen and now they are wondering whether they had the legal right to terminate his mother's parental rights! Oh dear.... this sounds like a long, drawn out process.

I do have a couple of friends who were interested in him so I need to get them introduced. Then if someone is serious, they will have to become licensed to foster and adopt which will take a couple of months. OR they could be considered a kinship placement if he knows them.

Lord, help guide the people making these decisions to find a special home for this wonderful little boy.
