the prettiest princess around to be placed in our care today!
We couldn't be happier!
We got a call this afternoon asking if we could take a little 3 day old baby girl. I told our caseworker, "OF COURSE, WE WILL!" I called Daniel and told him the good news! (Unfortunately, he is working out of town for the rest of this week.)
I was just thinking....a year ago, this week, I lost my own baby. This has been a very difficult year. So many "missed" things. Birthdays, holidays, etc. But, God was with us through it all. He had (and HAS) a plan for our lives.
Instead of letting the sadness consume me, I decided to start praying and asking God to, in His own sweet way and in His time, bring another little one into our lives. I definitely was not expecting an answer this soon, but I'm SO glad that it worked out the way that it did!
I'm also sad. Sad for the mom who lost this precious little girl. Sad for the situation. Sad for the dad. Sad for the others involved.
Today is full of mixed emotions: Happiness. Sadness. Curiosity. Wondering about the future. Trying not to get too attached. Loving the one that God (and the State of Kansas) has placed in our care.
Will write more later....
....I have a little baby to hold!
Blessings,
