I need prayer about possible adoption

[Originalist]

Good Evening.

I am a teacher in a 6-12rivate school. Last August, a new female 7th grader began to confide in me about her broken home life. Being a male teacher, I was very hesitant about counseling her. But after hearing details, the administrative leadership gave it their blessing. After 6 months, a bond has grown between this student and myself. She is being raised by her paternal great-grandmother and step great grandfather who are both very sick. I have also bonded with them. Long story short, I believevGod wants me to take custody of this child someday. She would be my 3rd daughter behind my 19 and 15 year old biological girls. My oldest daughter is very supportive. But my wife and youngest daughter are skeptical. Prayers are appreciated.

It is told that Christians during the Roman empire used to pick up babies from the trash thrown away by prostitutes and used to take care of them as their own. They felt the duty to respond to the need of abandoned little ones. You know what Jesus said about kids.

I think it is very nice of you to take custodian of the child if no one else in her family can. I do think your wife needs to be 100% on board, though.

Have her spend time with your family to see what the group dynamics are, and if everyone is comfortable being together.
