We wish you a Merry Christmas...and a Happy New Year!
We received a phone call last night that has altered our Christmas, and certainly our plans for the new year. The birthmom called to tell me that she has decided to go with another adoptive family. So, although this is certainly not how we pictured this story ending, we know that God is still in control. We are mourning the loss of this baby, but we are praying health, love, and happiness for him/her.
This Christmas we will be thanking God for the many gifts He has given us...especially the greatest gift of His son, Jesus Christ. In Him all things are possible.
Merry Christmas everyone, and I'll be back in the New Year!

I'm sorry sweetie, so sorry that you are going thru this pain.
While this news is a sad time for your family and hard to understand for everyone, it isn't a suprise at all for God. But then, you already know that very thing and it still hurts like crazy.:(
My prayer is that you will be comforted by Jesus and that you will have a wonderful Christmas time with you precious Lily, Jay and your loving family.
Many hugs to you, Nikki!!

I am so sorry and am sending lots of warm wishes to you for a brighter 2009 with good things to come!
Oh honey, I am so sorry. I can imagine how upsetting this was. So sorry and I am thinking of you. I guess this means a change of plans, but maybe this was the change that was meant to occur before the baby you were meant to have comes home. I know that this must be so upsetting. We are thinking of you all and send big hugs your way. You are incredible family and I hate that this happened. You always have such faith even when such difficult things happen. I really look up to you.
Love,
Jonni
