Heidi, as your former bishop I applaud and celebrate the courageous decision you have made. Knowing the angst and joy surrounding adoptions as we experienced it with our Tyler, I can assure you that there are many paths these precious children can take on their way into an eternal family. And as I witnessed the beautiful tiny hand of your newborn, I knew the Lord's hand was in all of this.

I placed a sweet little girl with a wonderful family. I am so proud of Heidi for making that decision for Griffin, I know how hard it is and I know what kind of spirit is in that room when that sweet child is being placed with another family. I know how hard it is but how much it means to the adoptive family. Griffin will be forever grateful to Heidi. Those pictures you took of Heidi are amazing. Heidi looks so beautiful and Griffin looks so handsome.Austin and Kristen Bennionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225786613544027239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869762968495501085.post-75243884361550999472010-10-01T16:12:25.049-07:002010-10-01T16:12:25.049-07:00What a beautiful story.

What an enormous blessing for these families that there are strong women, like Heidi, out there who choose to make this difficult decision. We love you Heidi.

I have a brother and sil struggling and praying for an adoption so I've seen the years of tears that led up to this day. I'm proud of you and don't even know you. I have a close family member that decided to keep her baby boy, and he is now 8. She knew it would be best to give him up but it was too hard. I do not fault her, but I want you to know he is really struggling because of that choice and she is too I'm sure. May the Lord strengthen you and fill those empty arms for the right time in your life.Crystal Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772995413990563964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869762968495501085.post-59212137599645721682010-09-30T19:39:34.488-07:002010-09-30T19:39:34.488-07:00nice post-process! and i couldn't help but she...nice post-process! and i couldn't help but shed a few tears while reading this. amazing!the Harris Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07990228099073859732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869762968495501085.post-26837077310928402010-09-30T19:29:21.015-07:002010-09-30T19:29:21.015-07:00beautiful photos danette! what a touching story! t...beautiful photos danette! what a touching story! thank you for sharing.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561377717436162436noreply@blogger.com
