I am simply in tears reading your story and am anxious to read how your post today continues.

Because my experience is so different from yours, I don't know what it is like to have the diagnosis prior to giving birth. It seems like a whole different experience, but the same happy ending :)The Hapa Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833292317486709616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957448394466750602.post-20966476918073647542008-12-05T00:21:00.000-05:002008-12-05T00:21:00.000-05:00You have me in tears...what a beautifully written ...You have me in tears...what a beautifully written post. It will be a year tomorrow that our confirmation came via amnio and I remembering thinking, "I don't think I can raise a baby with Down Syndrome." Why did God choose me to have this baby? So many questions and choices given to us in a short amount of time...I think we can all relate to your post in some ways...I think it is beautiful! Lauren is a sweet little girl and has blessed in you so many ways I can tell...I don't know your outcome with the adoptive parents...but I'm sure you will treasure them forever as well. I have two adopted nieces and really think so highly of the birth moms seeking out the best parents for their children and I think highly of adoptive parents for seeking out any child that may need them. I had no idea that there was a waiting list for DS babies...I now see why...Brayden is the light of my life...as I'm sure Lauren is the light of yours! I can't wait to see your finished story. Just love how connected I feel to all the DS parents out there! Thanks for sharing a heartful experience.The Lehnick Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785316812435367173noreply@blogger.com
