Emily

Emily has been having a hard time lately. She really really misses her birth Mom & Dad and her brothers. She is trying to somehow come to grips with the reality that she isn't with them. In her innocence she knows that they should be together but doesn't really understand why they aren't. How does a 9 year old reconcile that? How does she accept who she is, without being part of what she was born into? What does she do with the guilt she feels because she loves another set of parents yet still loves the first set? What does she do with the hole left in her heart because she is a sibling of 3, yet an only child.

These are heart wretching questions that have no answers. As her mom & dad all we know to do is cry with her and pray and pray and pray....................... He will fill the void in ways that we can't ask or imagine. He will make her new.
