Helplessness and Hope

It is so hard to imagine what the people of Haiti are feeling right now. I have never experienced anything remotely close to a natural disaster. I have experienced the feeling of helplessness. When adopting so much is out of your hands. You are always at the mercy of someone else. I think it is especially difficult once you meet your child and have to leave them behind. You want nothing more than to be with that little person. That little person that you know without a doubt was meant to be yours. All you can do is hope and pray. Well while watching Good Morning America this today I saw this story. I don't want to take anything away from the suffering in Haiti. It is real and unfathomable to me. But my heart rejoiced with this family. God be with Haiti.

I'm so glad you posted about this...all of the news I've seen so far has been so heartbreaking but this story made me cry b/c I was so happy for the little girl and her parents. My heart truly breaks for all of the other parents who lost their children this week.
