Prayer Request

Please pray for my husband. His first born son who is now in his 40s was taken by his mother to another state when he was 7 years old. He had a step-father and the mother allowed the step-father to adopt him in this other state. My husband continued to pay child support after they disappeared until the courts contacted him to stop because they had no forwarding address on her. She stole her mother's life insurance and Social Security burial check and left the rest of the family to bury their mother. She ran away with my husband's only child immediately after the theft of money. When my mother-in-law passed away in the 90s she had left money for the boy. The trust tracked down the boy then in his 20s and we paid out of our own pocket to fly him to us and spend 3 days with us. He never wanted to know what happened and why he had been adopted or anything. We are sure he was raised believing some lies about his father. His father is the best man I have ever met. Everyone who meets him feels the same way. A gracious and loving man beyond belief. His son wanted to leave after 2 days and it cost us more money to send him home early. He called later to say he was upset that the trust fund would not pay for him a new car but instead a used one. Thought we had control over it, even though we had no say. He said we only cared about my husband's two younger kids from a second marriage. The money was distributed evenly but he took an attitude and no one not even the trustee for the estate ever heard from him again. He is on FB and even though we have not tried to friend him on FB just found out that he has a teenage son. So my husband lost his first born son and now will never know his grandson either. Please pray that God will soften his son's heart before it is too late. My husband is 68 years old and misses that little boy he had so long ago. It hurts him but he tries to play tough about the situation, only as a way of self preservation.
