My Baby


18 years ago today at exactly 7:20 pm, began the best day of my life. I gave birth to my only child, a beautiful baby girl. I began the challenging but very rewarding task of mothering a child. I lost my child just 2 short years ago and the ache in my heart is tremendous.

While the world sends each other wishes of good cheer, I continue to mourn my daughter each and every day. On this day I choose to reflect on her life and how it was cut so short.

While I cry, I do remember God's promise of a resurrection. I will be reunited with my child one day... I also remember God's justice. He is holding all responsible parties accountable. They will not get away. Vengeance is His, He will repay... Romans 12:19

Allow me to introduce myself...


Welcome to my blog. I am really quite new at this so please bear with me as I learn and grow in the process.

As you can see from the above post I was mother to a beautiful daughter that I tragically lost just two short years ago. The pain is ever present but I do recognize that my motherhood has not ended. I am pursuing adoption from the beautiful country of Ethiopia.

The purpose of this blog is to document my adoption journey and write about the joys of mothering the one that I lost.

December 1990-September 2006
Rest in God's memory. Until we meet again...
I long for the day that death will be brought to nothing.
