Hello all we need some prayers-


Heres what has happen-

On Friday I got "the call" baby girl born the 11th of course my heart leaped with joy. Love for this child already resides in my heart just waiting for the moment to share it with her.

Then came the buts:

But she is drug exposed- ok we can accept that
But we are still waiting on the drug testing- ok we can accept that
But she will have to go into cradle care - ok we can accept that
But her bmom is freakin because she thinks cradle care is like foster care and now just wants to take the baby home-
Bmom does not realize that she does not have a choice on the baby going into cradle care (its the law because of the drug exposure)

Now for the most amazing part of this situation-

Agency fees 28,000.00 not included finalization, legals, travel, ICPC, and God only knows what else.

This amount of money is without a doubt the very high end of adoptions.

What is to happen is still up in the air-

My prayer request is for this little baby- That God provides her exactly what she needs to live a life full of health, comfort, peace, kindness, trust, faith, and Love.

Thank you all,

DonnaLynn

Oh why does there always have to be those "buts"????? My heart is breaking that this wasn't one of those cut and dry kind of situations.....the waiting is so very difficult.

Please, God, do not let this innocent baby have any ill effects from the drugs.

I am saying prayers for you, that sweet little baby girl and also for her birthmother.

Take care and please keep us updated.

I am sorry to say I cant find out anything on this situation. I dont know what happen to this baby whether she is placed, in cradle care, or the mom is trying to parent.

I am sad because my hopes were so high that this might be happening -even with all the difficulites.

Will let you know if anything changes please continue to pray for all of us.

Hang in there. The lord, as you know, works in mysterious ways. What is cradle care?:

[DonnaLynn]

The sad truth here is I feel truly mislead.

When I was first called about this I asked what the fees were for and if possible for us to pay 80% up front and the rest by Feb

I was told no. That was fine. Then suddenly information was hard to get. Then the birthmother wasnt placing?

Then I was stalled, stymied, and could not find out any information at all.

Today I found out that the bmom did sign on Monday as I was told she would. And for some reason unknown to me the baby was placed with a family from Iowa.

It seems odd that once I asked about the money - the situation became so hard to find out about - and then I wasnt called back and couldnt get information -

Very disappointing all around.

(side notes) One of the websites I look at often has a post about a baby girl possibly anglo - or anglo/AA
oddly if the baby is anglo/aa it is around 17,000 for this placement if the baby is anglo it is 27,000.

This made me so angry I am still shaking over it. I dont need to explain it to all of you. You get it .. its obvious -

Please pray that the misguided ppl out there see the light and know that God loves all His children equally- as should we.


Thank you for your support,

Donna
