Your Prayers Are Appreciated
I spent last night with Adrienne, Jim and Owen. I can tell you that they appreciate all of the prayers that are being said for the birth family as well as for them. So many of these comments are so positive and heart felt. Many of her followers have shared their personal stories as either a birth parent or an adoptive parent. Please continue to pray for the most important person in this situation, the little tiny baby.

I have been and will continue to life up that sweet baby girl and all the people who love her. She is a lucky girl to be wanted by so many people... and I am just praying that God will do what is best for her in the long run, and offer comfort to all those involved. I look forward to hearing what happens. God is good and faithful and His ways are perfect!!!
Joy,
Is there any update? Please hug them from all of us. We'll keep praying.
was wondering if the status was still the same.. birth mom has the baby at home?
hi Joy, thank you for the update. will continue to pray for everyone involved. what a lucky little girl to be so loved!!! are there any updates that you can give us?
Joy---thank you so much for the update. We are all so worried about Adrienne and the rest of the family. It is amazing how many people are lifting all involved up in prayer. I have lifted you in my prayers as well, it must be tough for you.
My prayer is that Gods will be done involving this very blessed little girl that is LOVED by so many.
Please wrap your arms around this sweet family for all of us.
We continue to say prayers for all involved, and especially this precious little girl. I just visited Adrienne's blog and am heartbroken once again for her.
What a sweet friend you are. Sending up prayers for Adrienne and her sweet family, for this sweet baby, for the birth family, and for you, a friend to all of them.
Oh Joy. . .I know this can't have been easy! Just know that you and everyone else involved remain in my prayers daily. Much peace and love to you!
Hopefully everything will work out alright. I can't imagine how your friend is handling all of this. The baby is in my thoughts.

I'm glad you were able to spend some time with Adrienne, Jim, and Owen. I know her heart aches and I'm glad she had someone to comfort her in her time of need. My heart aches for her and I wish I could be there to give her a big hug. I'm so thankful that God has placed you there to be her comfort and support.
We will continue to pray for the birth family and baby!!
My prayers are with Adrienne and her family...although I am offended for her by one bloggers suggestion that "however" they must have seen this coming and had time to prepare in the hours/days leading up to the birth mother's decision. Adrienne and her family are grieving as any of us would for a child lost in any way...Not to be the face of negativity in a sea of positive thoughts, but the birth mom has the baby...she doesn't need my prayers so much.
I'm praying for you all...I'm have 4 bio kids and am going through our first adoption from Ethiopia...it is a wonderful program that moves very quickly...I've read through some of your posts...are you adopting domestically and waiting?? just curious...so sorry you all are all going through this...kristi johnson

Hi Joy
Wow, this has been a rough time and we are praying for everyone involved. I know that this was not the outcome expected. My heart is going out to you all and I hope you are OK.
uhh, to the unchristian wack job that thinks a birthmom that kept her baby doesnt need prayer open your eyes honey! She didnt think she could be a parent and has for her and "that baby" . Are you one of those people who prayed the baby would scream all night and driver her crazy to make her place out of sleeplessness? And then told A&J you would? They dont want that, and certainly donow chosen to do it to the best of her abilites. She needs prayers of wisdom and guidance and protection nt want prayer for that either! Everyone needs prayer in all situations and for you to show any kind of anger toward a woman who made a choice to keep HER baby which is HER right, YOU are wrong! You have to accept that this was God's will and all you can do is pray for wisdom and guidance for the mother and baby that this are starting their lives together, and peace and light for A J &O and safe travels home to Tennessee. And furthermore, if anyone enters an adoption expecting to get the baby, thinking that if they traveled so far they deserve the baby vs. the birthmom, they arent people who are ready to adopt, deserve to adopt, or should be trusted to adopt! i am a birthmother and it took me 8 months to find Sara's parents. They encouraged me to take all the time I needed to make my decision and i took her home for 2 days before I was ready. So she could feel like mine, and i could feel like and they knew they were recieving a gift. They came from aways away (they live super close now) but under no circumstances to they deserve my baby. They were there, if i could look at my daughter which i did, and i could think they could give her better than me, then i would make the adoption plan, and in my case, and a future case for A&J it happened. You just have to accept the bigger plan here.
for anniemac....even God recognizes that there are people who are more needy for prayer than others....I dare suggest, even those who are more worthy... to clarify, no I was not one of those people who hoped that Lily would cry all night. I am the mother of two as well as a teacher, and I take offense at your suggestion. I commend your ability to put your own deires aside to do what is best for your child, but believe that the peace of mind that you wake up with each morning knowing your baby is close and cared for does in fact minimize your grief. For you to suggest that your pain is greater than the mother who buries baby or greater than the mother who spends years hoping for a child only to have it ripped from her arms at the last minute... is ubsurd. I won't goes so far as to call you a wack job, but I am certain my God does not believe your pain to be greater either.
I have been been following Adrienne's blog but wanted to post a comment on yours as well. I know this must be difficult being in the middle of such a heartwrenching situation. May God bless all involved here. Either way a mother would grieve for a child.
