My husband's brother and sister-in-law are one step away from legally adopting their son Gabriel. A few days ago his birth mother agreed to relinquish her parental rights and consented to the adoption. She still has six months to change her mind but after that, it is a done deal...praise the Lord!
On the housing front, the man who is hoping to sell us his house (Mr. M), has met with a lawyer who is supposed to be writing up a purchase agreement for us. We will sign this document and then take it to a bank for submission along with our loan application. Mr. M told the lawyer he wanted the papers by mid-May before he goes out west to finalize his new housing arrangements. After waiting all this time and thinking that the sale was so far off, now it seems like we must hurry to get this done. Mr. M would like to move by June 1 and we need to be out of our apartment by June 30. In fact, we need to give notice by May 15, which we will do, but we probably won't know if the loan has gone through by then. That is where we take a step of faith. We pray that our apartment won't be leased out again before we know for sure if we are moving. If it is, my hubby suggests that we could rent the empty apartment next door. We can't wait to see what happens!
