I truly believe if you open your heart and your mind to God's will then the places He will take you are far better then what you could have ever imagined.

Prayers for this baby girl, her family and her possible future parents if God is to lead you/her that way.

Your story has me crying. Crying tears of joy at what might be for your family, crying tears of sadness for Baby 'K', and crying for my heart feels the Word of the Lord coming through your email.

My prayers are with that baby, that she may come to live and be loved in the home that God predestined for her. This does sound like an event of pure divinity. However, God works in mysterious ways, and getting your hopes up, is a leap of faith on your part. If this child isn't the one who He chose for your family, then it may just be His way of telling you that it's your time again! That now, after a long one-year wait, is the time to seek out and bring home your little girl. The Lord's Blessings are amazing when we just open up our hearts to His Glory. It amazes me everyday how His blessings are so much better than what I had ever hoped for my own life. Our own plans pale in comparison to what He has planned for us.

Many prayers and much love sent your way...
Jessica

Dixie, may God bless each and every one of you involved in this situation. God works in mysterious ways. Maybe this is why you were meant to wait.

My heart hurt as I put all of the things we had saved for Kayden in a yard sale a few weeks ago. My youngest dd's stuff and the weird stuff sold. NONE of Kayden's things sold. I wonder if that was my sign not to give up yet?
