Heartbreaking...

Just got this prayer request from one of the families that traveled with us.

"I will start with the prayer because it is heavy on my husband's and my hearts. XXXX's mother (XXXX is my husband) has still not acknowledged (the baby's) existence. No words or questions or mention of him in any way.

We are sick over this. We have tried to include her in all communication and bring him up often to her only to have her change the subject or ignore it completely."

Honestly, my first reaction was anger. But, I remembered the bad attitudes I have that I need work on. Then, my next reaction was thanks. Earlier, I posted about how great everyone has been concerning our adoption. So, we are very fortunate to have the support we have.

I just couldn't imagine having to deal with a family member like that. That would put up a big wall for me. What a shame. It's only by God's grace that our friends and family are sharing what a blessing Jada is to us and our family. She has brought so much to our lives. We are engaging with friends and family more often and we are able to share what's going on with more people since she's come home. It's opened alot of doors for us and alot of people have been blessed by Jada and our story.

We may have another opportunity and another forum to share our story. It's in the works, so be praying for us that the RIGHT doors are opened for the RIGHT reasons and we are able to share the RIGHT things.
