Greetings in the name of our Lord and Shepherd, Jesus Christ!
We write to you today to share some difficult news and turn of events in our family regarding our newest members, twins Abigail and Isaac. As our friends and supporters you have joined us in prayer and provision over the last 7-1/2 months, for the babies daily care and provision, obtaining legal guardianship over them, and the process of adoption. Thank you all so much for your love, support, and assistance!
As we write you we have a lump in our throat and tears in our eyes, as due to a change in circumstances the twins birth mother’s life and living arrangements have become more stable; therefore, she has decided to reclaim Abigail and Isaac to raise herself, which is to take place at the beginning of this week. Though we are glad for their birth mother and the reuniting of their family, our family’s love and bonds with the twins have grown deep these past 7-1/2 months, and Abigail and Isaac have become just as our own children. We are choosing to bless and fully support her decision to reunite her family, trusting in our Lord and Shepherd, Jesus Christ with the results! This has caused as you can imagine a lot of crying and pain in the reality of no longer having Abigail and Isaac as part of our family. Each of our four children have reacted with tears and questions, yet each realize that even though this is a hard thing to do, it is the right thing to do. God’s Word tells us in Job, ”The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
In further support, we will be donating a love gift (that was meant to help our family in the adoption process) toward their family’s daily needs. We ask that you would join us in prayer and support of this decision, fully joyful for the twins and their family.
Thank you friends!
In Christ our Lord and Shepherd,
David & Karen Wilson, and Family
