Please join us in fasting...

Hello to all,

As you may have read in the previous post, my dear friend and fellow blog contributor Deanna is currently facing a heartbreaking trial. I am asking all those within the adoption world to join us in fasting tomorrow. We will be fasting with these thoughts specifically in our hearts, minds and prayers: for the best thing to happen for baby Emerson, that his birthmom Jules will receive clarity in her decisions, that God's glory can be shown through miracles, that Jules family will be in tune with Heavenly Father's will and will have understanding and clarity as well.

I know this is an unusual place to request fasting but I firmly believe in strength in numbers and faith. The Lord is able to do anything if it his will, I have seen it in my own family with our adoption journey. Our hearts have to be open and our minds willing to bend to his promptings and I sincerely hope that comfort, healing and love will be abounding in the resolution of this trial for the Little Family. I know that the Lord has a divine plan for all of this.

I will keep you all posted as Deanna chooses to share. Love to Jules, her family, Emerson and the Little Family at this time.

-Elise

We need your prayers and faith!

So so sad and broken hearted...

"Let thy Cry come near before thee, O Lord: give me understanding according to thy world" - Psalms 119:169

I feel very numb at the moment...I have gone through so many emotions in the past few hours and wonder why and can only ask for Heavenly Father to help me understand what has just happened...

There are no words to explain what our family is going through as well as our extended family. PLEASE PLEASE Pray for us...Pray for Emerson....we miss him so dearly already...Jules revoked her relinquishment yesterday afternoon after 4 weeks and LDS Family Services came for Emerson and brought him back to California...

Jules is set to place him with a cousin now...A wonderful cousin who is pro adoption and has even adopted and even congratulated us about our adoption from this blog...My heart is broken...

I PRAY for these cousins to seek confirmation and to pray to pray fervently about this ....

PRAY for Emerson to be surrounded by guardian Angels..I swear he see's them all the time...

PRAY for Jules to REMEMBER why she chose us and the Spiritual experience she had at the Temple and the confirmation she received....

We love Emerson so much and I have never felt pain like this ever in my life...I feel like I have been forced to give my child away, I never made any choices to create this feeling and we did everything right...the only feeling that I can compare to this would be the death of a child...I am a mess...James and I have gone through so much in our quest to grow our family and are at a loss...Abbe is unbelievably heartbroken...Her little brother was taken away, and I have never heard her cry like she has...why would someone do this...please Heavenly Father help me to feel peace and comfort even if I can not understand ones reasoning...

We love you Emerson...It is so hard that you are not here...your sweet spirit..your little lambie grunts, your beautiful blue eyes and baby smell...We long for you to be with us again...
