Heather in Neverland Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 ...but not by me. :tongue_smilie: But it is such a great story. Good friends of ours that work here with us had two children, a boy and a girl. The girl is now 9 years old. The little boy was born with some serious medical issues and the family moved so he could be treated at St. Jude's and they fought this long battle until he died at age 2. It was devastating to them. The disease is genetic and they were terrified to have another baby for fear of this whole thing happening again. Then they moved here and met us. Then we adopted and they supported us through our process. Well, last fall they asked us if we would help them adopt a baby boy as well...give advice on how to navigate the legal process, etc., and we said of course! THEY JUST LEFT THIS MORNING TO GO PICK UP THEIR NEW BABY BOY!!!!!! He is 3 weeks old and I cannot wait to see him!!! I am so happy for them. Their hearts were so broken and now they are so happy. God is so good! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
