I Know Life Isn’t Always Fair, But Can’t They Get a Break?
You know my friends I’ve been talking about? The ones who’ve been trying to adopt? Well, today was the day the birth mother was supposed to sign the adoption consent papers (after the 72 hour waiting period). And, well, as much as it hurts me to tell you this - she didn’t sign them. Seems her family found out and convinced her to keep the baby. I don’t know the whole story, and I’m not here to sit in judgment. What I do know is that my friends, who were able to take that baby home with them and have this child as their own for two days now have to give the baby back. And that just sucks. It sucks bigtime. And my friends are heartbroken again. And I can’t stand that.
So this is what I’m proposing to you internet. I’m proposing that we start one gigantic prayer/positive thoughts chain for this wonderful couple who want nothing more than to be parents.
Here is what I ask of you:
At the very least, please say a prayer for or send some positive energy to this couple who have gone through miscarriages and two oh-so-close adoptions that didn’t happen. I won’t tell you what to pray for or what thoughts to send - I’ll leave that up to you, but please at least do that for them if you read this blog.
If you want to go a step further, I would ask you to post something on your own blog asking for your readers to pray and/or send positive thoughts their way. The more people we get doing this, the better. You can link back to me if you want, but you’re certainly not obligated to do so. I’m not doing this for traffic, I’m doing this for my friends because I truly believe in the power of prayer and positive thinking. You can say as much or as little about their situation as you want. You can ask your readers to do the same thing or not. It’s totally up to you how far you want to take this and I thank you for anything you are willing to do.
And if you want to go even farther, ask those you know in “real life” to pray and/or send positive thoughts to them as well.
Whatever little bit you can do is appreciated. And my friends may never even know that you’ve done this because I’m not sure it’s something I want to tell them at this point in time, but I know that if they knew they would thank you. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart. And they truly are wonderful people.
All right internet, I know you can do it. I truly believe this will help them get their child - whoever he or she is.
