Tomorrow we will be going home empty handed. A family member has stepped forward to adopt Baby Bird. She has already contacted the tribal court, which means there is no room for contesting, etc. It is now out of our hands. Our adoption counselor is trying to get in touch with the birth mother (S and I suspect she did not see this coming, and may not even know it is happening yet - the adoption counselor got the news from the birth mother's mother). We will have our little sweetheart until we can give her back to her birth mother, which will hopefully be tomorrow. It would just be too painful to be here with her knowing for sure we can't keep her.
So, one more night of true love. I will bless every moment she keeps me up, every time she cries for food, every step I have to take to help her get to sleep at 3 a.m., and every little smile that I KNOW is not gas.
I will write more later, for now we are grieving. Thank you everyone for your love and support and enthusiasm.

I'm so sorry - what an emotional time for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Oh gees, I am so very sorry to hear this. I can't begin to fathom the sadness and loss you feel right now, but my thoughts and prayers are with you.

It is so hard to believe that as quick as she became part of your world, she will be leaving it. This is absolutely not fair and I am incredible sorry.
You opened your heart up unselfishly and I hope it doesn't take long to heal. Know you gave baby bird her first moments of love and she will keep that with her always.
Thinking of you.
Oh Evergreen,
You write with such grace here. My heart is with you and your husband and baby bird.
Love,
Pam

Oh, no. I am so very sorry, Evergreen. Abiding with you and keeping everyone involved in my thoughts and prayers. Pam is right - this post is full of grace. May you continue to be blessed with grace and with comfort.
no, oh sweetheart I am so sorry. My heart breaks for you, and S. and mostly for that sweet baby bird. My prayers and heart are with you as you grieve this.
I'm so sorry. I am so amazed at the strength that you have had to get to this point and be able to open yourself up like this. I hope that you take comfort in eachother and will be ready for the next call. Thinking of you.

Holding you up in prayer.

I am so sorry. I don't even know what to say that could comfort you and I am in tears thinking about what you must be going through. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you right now.
