God bless you and your family. May you find at least one positive each day, whether it be tiny or large, to keep focus on. Thousands of hugs are sent your way.
Dear Melissa...I know you don't know me, but I follow your amazing blog on a daily basis. Please know that I my heart goes out to your and your beloved family! I am sending love and prayers your way for you and the children...I can only imagine the pain and uncertainty that you are experiencing. We are all thinking of you...
Mel, I wish there were something any of us could do or say to lessen your pain, but I know there is not. I am holding you in my heart and prayers. Love to you.
I have had you on my mind most of the day. My heart is breaking for you. Hopefully you made it through the day feeling somewhat sane. Finding your "new normal" will take some time. Take care of yourself along the way!
An ongoing tale of our most excellent (and terrifying) adventure yet.. adoption via foster care. This is a journey Darling Husband and I started with Nantie ("Nanny-Auntie" - a blessing from above) in 2007. Although she moved in 2010, we miss her dearly and so appreciate all she did while here.
We also have a herd of rescued canines, fear the Lord and laugh a lot.
August, 2011: Seven amazing placements and a week after we were told LittleBuddy and SweetPea were available for us to adopt, my husband passed away unexpectedly.
April, 2012: I had the honor of adopting my darling 7 year old son (Little Buddy) and 3 1/2 year old sister (SweetPea). I awoke the following day a 40something, widowed single mommy... and couldn't of been happier.
In 1999, a year after my own mother passed away I found out I, myself, was an adopted county baby. Life has some ironic twists but we all seem to come Full Circle
This is our story.

I'm so sorry you are having to walk this road. Praying for peace, comfort, and calm for you and your littles.
Surreal is the perfect word.
