[gottahavehope]

This morning I was on my way to the park w/dh and my 2 children when a news story came on the radio. A NC woman with the help of her sister kidnapped the 5 month old she had given up for adoption. She busted into the child's home, had on a mask, had a gun, tied up the mother, and took off w/ the baby. Thankfully the child was found unhurt w/ the kidnappers and will be going home to her family. The thing is the story hit me hard. I felt physically ill the whole time I was at the park.

Our son's bio mom has threatened to kidnap our son. I never really wanted to believe that she or anyone would be so wicked and evil. It just seemed so unrealistic till hearing some poor family actually went through it.

I know one bad apple does not spoil the bunch, but I'm so shaken today. I just keep thinking-what if it had been us? How do I know it wasn't just grief talking when she made that threat? How can you protect your children from the unknown?

If I ever lost my son, or my daughter for that matter,I would not survive it.Just typing that has made me teary---I'm a mess.....I don"t know...i guess it is just hard to hear a story that hits so close to home.

peace,
