Angels Among Us

For those who wonder, I can tell you with full certainty that there are angels living among us.  I've seen many things that point to this, but none more convincing than those responding to a recent e-mail I had sent out to special needs agencies, adoptive parents, and contacts within my adoption circle.  It has always been our mission to find a home for every baby who needs one, no matter the situation.  And, thankfully, we have always found willing families, no matter the situation.  Every once in a while, a special needs situation comes up and it can be a challenge to locate the perfect family.  But, somehow, some way, there is always that special family that is the right match for the baby.  Last week, we went in search of a family for a baby who was born with severe hydrocephalus and limited brain function.  The response has been surprising.  This baby will need a lifetime of care, special attention, and will not have much potential.  Still, there are families who want this baby to be in their family.  Many families.  There are, indeed, angels among us.
