A Tearful Goodbye

Friday afternoon, I took Andrew to the Bethany office to be re-united with his mother. I am glad she decided to parent. It was difficult for Maddy to say goodbye to Andrew. Since he was so small, she was able to help with him more than she could with Paris. Maddy changed diapers, fed him, and was a great little mommy. She sobbed half the way home from dropping him off. Andrew's mom was very appreciative to us. Maddy made her a picture with a bible verse and she teared up when she read it. We will continue to pray for God to be big in her life and help her be a great mom!
Overall, we had a very good week with him. He was a content little guy and was very easy to care for. We were a little sleep deprived, but that is to be expected with a 1 week old! I took him to the pediatrician for a newborn check while we had him. He had a good check-up and had gained 6 oz. since he left the hospital 4 days before the appointment.
Our social worker doesn't think it will be long before we have another placement as they have been receiving lots of calls. So for now, we will be catching up on our sleep to prepare for the next one!
Thank you for all of your prayers and good wishes!
