Feeling Sad......

I just learned some very tragic news. One of the women on my adoption forum lost their newly adopted daughter to SIDS. This precious baby was only 10 months old and was brought home to her family around the same time we got Emalee. She simply went to sleep and woke up in Heaven. I can't imagine the pain that this family is going through. To wait sooooooo long for a baby.......it just doesn't seem fair. We just don't know what tomorrow brings do we? We think we have things all figured out, but the Lord tells us to live for today.

I also learned that another family that got their daughter around the time that we got Emalee has decided to terminate their adoption due to unforeseen medical needs that their baby has. Please pray that this baby finds a family that is able to care for her and that these parents would find peace and comfort in their decision.

These two families really need our prayers.

Hug and kiss your kids today and let them know how much you love them.
