Jusith,
I am so sorry about about your beautiful Bradford. Live just doesn’t make sense sometimes. I remember when we lost 2 babies to miscarriage it is still tears my heart up. I can’t imagine the pain you have and are going through. I am so thankful you know and trust the Lord even when it hurts!

Hi Judith,
Our husbands went to school together and I heard about you, but we never met. Anyway, my husband just passed on your loss of little Bradford and I read your account. My heart goes out to you in huge ways. We went through a very similar experience when we lost our Lynneita over a year and a half ago. You shared so many thoughts and feelings that were identical to what we went through. She would be 16 months now. I am so sorry you had to go through this experience. We have 2 boys, the youngest was 6 at the time. Chris really hoped we’d have a girl. We lost her at about 5 1/2 months of pregnancy. She was beautiful and perfect and still born. Don’t know what was wrong, but the cord was twisted too tight in spots. I can’t imagine what it would be to have never been able to birth a living child and have this experience. Praise God for your beautiful adopted boys. I understand it just makes you thankful everyday for their life. God has healed us through it all. I guess the beauty is that He has filled my cup in many other ways even though my arms aren’t full. I know He will fill and heal you too. My prayers and tears are with you. I believe God is crying with you, just as he did for Mary and Martha. I look forward to heaven when we’ll be all together and see her living and growing. Blessings, Heidi

Good to see you the other night. As we pursue these adoptions it is so comforting to walk alongside women who have been through it. I feel so blessed. Your story has stirred so many questions in my soul – I cannot even begin to imagine how it must feel for you. Thank you for your willingness to share your heart so freely.

Judith,
You and David continue to be a source of inspiration for me. I cannot count the number of opportunities I have had to share your story and site with other couples- couples who have lost, couples who are expectant, couples who wish to adopt. Your ministry, your story, is such a blessing in so many ways. I realize that responsibility-the one of being such a powerful place of solace for so many women and couples-must be awesome at times;please know that I pray for you. You are exactly where God wants you to be. Every word from your lips is truth plainly spoken by Him to each of us. Keep the faith. You simply cannot stop now. My own situation has not changed-we have no blessing or gift of a child-but I remain encouraged. Blessings. Ashleigh

I am so sorry that this wound has been re-opened for you. As someone who dealt with infertility for many years, I remember the hurt of hearing that someone was pregnant and then the shame I felt for feeling that way. I am definitely past that now and pray for the same for you.

I love seeing the pictures of your precious family. Take care of yourself.
