"He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes"

Yesterday was my birthday. I am blessed with so many great friends who sent cards and greetings on facebook. Even though I have so much to be thankful for, I couldn't help but feel sad. I was missing the one thing I wanted so badly, a Happy Birthday from my granddaughter. Maybe they didn't know or didn't know how to react, either way, my heart was broken and I once again mourned the emptyness. More tears to collect. Thankful the day is over.

If you've traveled to this site, I believe you have some connection with adoption. More than likely, the mother of a child who chose adoption for her/his child. Although I know from the bottom of my heart that this choice was the best decision for my grandchild and that she is in the home God chose for her, in the last 2 years I have struggled with not being able to be more a part of her life. During this time, I have scanned the book shelves for some sort of information or guidelines to help all families involved to be able to bond but have found very little. By creating this blog, I hope to generate discussion between other grandparents so we can help each other in this journey to help raise our grandchild to be healthy, physically and mentally.
