After she called I gathered the children around and we had a prayer for her and the baby. They have been very tender about all of this. Izzy asks me each day how many more days until the baby comes home. I wish I could tell her for sure, but at least the waiting should be done fairly soon.
Before life gets all chaotic (or a little sad) I would like to express me joy for the gifts of my children. I believe it was President Monson who said something like: Some people's children are born to them, other people's children are born for them.
If there is anything I could share with the world about my family it is this: we are a family, just as you and your children are a family. I am fortunate enough to have my miracle children come to me in a different way than your miracle children come to you. I don't love them any less than you love yours, in fact, because of all that we do to have our children I believe that I love and cherish them more than I would have had they come easily.
I am truly, truly blessed and thankful for my beautiful family.
With that said, I would ask you to please continue to pray for Laura that she will be able to do what is right for this baby and honestly, if the right thing doesn't end up being us, we will cry a little and hug each other and move on with the continued testimony that we will be blessed in ways that only Heavenly Father knows.
Thank you for all your love and prayers. We love you all!

Sunny, you have been in my thoughts a lot over the past couple of days. I am so excited for you, and a little apprehensive, as I know nothing is final for a little while. I'll keep you in my prayers. Having worked with adoptions at the hospital, I know that those babies end up in the right family. ***hugs***
What a sweet and tender post. Your love for your family is so evident, and I admire your faith to know that the right thing will happen. You (and she and the baby) continue to be in our prayers.
Sunny, I've always looked up to you! Your faith in Heavenly Father is an constant no matter what is going on in life. I know he is mindful of you always, and will continue to be whatever the outcome of this experience.
I'm praying for you, and for her. That peace may be found in whatever decision comes about.
Love you guys so much!!!
Sunny,
I, too, will keep you in my prayers. We feel so blessed that Isabelle has been so loved and cared for by you. Children are so precious...we hope this little girl gets the same blessings as Isabelle!
Love Lyn

Sunny, I admire your faith and strength! You do have a beautiful family and I miss you! I have my fingers and toes crossed and will pray for a positive outcome for all!
Can't wait to hear!
Sunny, I am finally catching up on your blog! I love and admire you SO much. It is so true that ALL children are miracles that come to us in various ways . . . some requiring more patience and faith than others. I will DEFINITELY be praying for you and your family and know that the Lord's will WILL be done. I hope and pray that I will be seeing pictures of your baby daughter soon.:)
