Our days are numbered with our precious foster to adopt baby girl. We have had her since birth, and she is 5 1/2 months old. They found a distant cousin to adopt her. Friday night is our last night with her. We love her so much and while we are doing our best to help her transition to her new parents, we are going to suffer a devastating loss. We are continuing to support our children and extended family, but we need support now and for next coming weeks. We need strength to get thru this and not feel like we are going to collapse from feeling panicked. Any words of inspiration to help us? We are trying so hard to keep it together. Thank you.

I can’t even begin to know how difficult this must be for you, and I doubt that adequate words exist.
You will always have the memories and the knowledge that you were able to give this precious child a good start in life. Be thankful for the time you were given with this baby, never bitter over this outcome.
Keep this precious baby girl in your prayers always. Even if you can’t be with her physically, know that Christ is with her. So long as you are praying for her, you will have some part in her life.
Will you be able to talk with the cousin and see if you can still visit occasionally, or at least send gifts?
If not, at least know that you have done a really good thing in giving her a great start in life. In that way, that part of you will always be in her life and help shape the person she becomes.
Seek comfort from Christ. He will help you through this.
Of course I will pray for all of you and the wisdom prevails, so that whatever is best for this baby is the outcome.

I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you. I hope that the cousin who adopts this girl is able to keep touch with you.
The only comfort I can think to offer you is this. That the selfless love you gave to her has been so important to her development. The first few months of life are so crucial to developing personality and you gave her much needed stability and comfort and love. Having to say goodbye at such a young age, means that she won't be conscious of what you did for her, but *you* know what you did and can hopefully gain some comfort from that.

I pray that whoever takes this child gives her as much love and attention as you seem to. I pity the ones that would mistreat this child because she is a special gift from heaven. Remember that God said her angel always see the face of God.
I pray that God will give you and your family strength through this transition.

Bless your hearts. All will be well. Mary had the greatest faith of all human creatures and I look to her example in trusting the Lord.
Offer your sorrows in a genuine way to the sacred heart of Mary and Her Son Jesus so that they may be glorified in you. God Bless

I can't think of anything more courageous than taking in a homeless child knowing that someday you might have to give them up...this is true love...I'm praying that you and your husband find peace..

I'm trying so hard to spread the truth around the world, just like you are. Except, it's the truth that religion hates.
