Our dear friends
Dave and Joy thought their baby was going to be born today. They had been preparing their hearts and their home for this baby since early March when they were matched with an expectant mother. But yesterday they got the heartwreching call every potential adoptive parent fears. The mother had given birth and decided to parent her baby. They had invested their hearts and now they are grieving a great loss. Please pray for God's peace and strength to carry them through.
According to a 2007 poll by
Adoptive Families, about 1/3 of "matches" result in the expectant mother deciding to parent the baby. So, if a family adopts 3 children, we can expect it to happen at least once, but could you ever be prepared for it?
Lord, you have been our dwelling place
throughout all generations.
Before the mountains were born...
from everlasting to everlasting
You are God.
Psalm 90:1-2
This is so sad for Dave and Joy. Our hearts go out to them. We can only hope and pray for the best for this little one. M&D Sitka
