Did y'all see this?

I mean, I think I'm gonna sleep tonight, but I don't know when. I know it's just one single family, but we really want to bring our son with us to meet our next child, and I know I would completely lose it if I were in this mom's situation. I think I'd be shot.

    I've been following their story since Monday. And I totally agree, I was wondering why this wasn't national news! Let's all lift this family up in prayer!!!!!!

    Looks like it's just hitting CNN, they've been released and reunited with their biological children and their documents have been found to be legitimate.

    So so so glad! And seriously are they like the most beautiful people EVER or what?! 

    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

    I have goosebumps!  We're adopting from Ghana!  While we're not planning on taking our young children with us, the thought of being seperated from them for an indeterminate amount of time is chilling!
