We have these friends in our ward named Delmar and Jared Foley and about a month after we moved into the ward, they received a foster baby from the Alaska Native hospital that was 2 weeks old! They've been going about every way to start a family and they've been on the foster care list for a while, so it was a great blessing to have Taya. Well, Brighton and Taya are about a month and a half apart so they've enjoyed hanging out together. Well, right from the very beginning, Delmar and Jared have been trying to adopt little Taya, but since she was an Alaska Native baby, the state has to go back to the village and see if anyone in the tribe wants her. And if they don't get the mother's consent to adopt, then they have to wait a lot longer to even START the adoption, so as you can see there were a ton of hoops to jump through and they have been nervous and praying for it to all work out. I think the entire ward has been praying for this for a while! Well, no one in the tribe has wanted her, and last week the mother (who is in jail) signed the consent form which means the adoption can fully go forward! So by the end of this month, Taya will officially be a Foley! We couldn't be happier for them and just wanted to share the good news of Brighton's pal with everyone!
