I know my babies in Heaven are safe and in the best care. It is final on this earth. I don't know that about our sweet Samuel. Infact, right now, I know he is sick and I can't care for him. It is heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing about these families. I'm praying for the parents and children too!Mattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10399030135018040344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-15342599382744940462012-07-25T19:02:53.855-04:002012-07-25T19:02:53.855-04:00Then I get "Treach" as in how my son wou...Then I get "Treach" as in how my son would likely spell what a teacher does. :) Hugs, friend!mblathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13836377656322706273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-42666967250335519752012-07-25T19:02:13.091-04:002012-07-25T19:02:13.091-04:00I remember Emma. :( I'm so sorry that dream d...I remember Emma. :( I'm so sorry that dream didn't come to fulfillment for you and John.

You're in a boat, others are in your boat, and you don't have to watch some people get out of it out of pure luck.<br /><br />Anyhoo - visiting from ICLW and it's amazing what you've been through.Stupid Storkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161877442649107282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-83929539869801212762012-07-19T18:25:34.201-04:002012-07-19T18:25:34.201-04:00Just read this and my heart broke!

Adoption is so near and dear to my heart and I am forever in prayer for the families and children that will become involved in this process... as well as praying for the women who give birth to these precious babies. So many children need loving arms to hold them and make them safe... so many families can offer that and desire to so deeply. I often wonder how the 'politicians' that spread this red tape so very thick would feel if their child were starving, cold and alone. Prayers for these families, children and these countries, always. xoxo!Facets of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139756214096633657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-30806811697102335922012-07-19T16:31:00.801-04:002012-07-19T16:31:00.801-04:00I'll be praying for these families and these c...I'll be praying for these families and these children...<br /><br />We've looked at adopting but at the end of the day, my heart can't take the ups and downs...<br /><br />((hugs))Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695243793883254621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-45001858920436731372012-07-19T16:25:28.422-04:002012-07-19T16:25:28.422-04:00My niece's second adoption failed due to the b...My niece's second adoption failed due to the birth father threatening to fight. It wasn't worth the possible pain and the birth mother feared that he would be harmful to the sweet boy that she decided to parent. But it was my niece who was there for the delivery and parented for that first week in a hotel room, alone waiting for the DNA results. What a difficult experience. But she does know that he is loved and safe, which is such a blessing.Cape Cod Step-Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05464751435203918710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-63233525329486278652012-07-19T15:23:32.084-04:002012-07-19T15:23:32.084-04:00We lost an adoption between Julia and Rauan.

It gives one very mixed emotions--I wish he was here with us, but at the same time we wouldn't have Rauan. <br />The whole thing is ridiculous!! Government power plays that play, manipulate, and destroy the lives of families. I realize I am one of the "lucky" ones--but it just makes me so mad. I know my lost boy is happy and healthy--I have been able to keep some tabs on his situation--but I can't even imagine what these other families are going through. I would have literally lost my mind by now. Always always ALWAYS--these families and their children are in my thoughts and prayers.janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960598252053778060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-44040387025435883592012-07-19T15:11:30.670-04:002012-07-19T15:11:30.670-04:00IT is hard to believe it has been four years since...IT is hard to believe it has been four years since we to had our hearts crushed when Kyrg shut down and still most babies are not home yet..So sad and heartbreaking to hear of the recent news again !!!
