I'm sure she's gorgeous and doing well nad I hope she'll have a wonderful life with her adoptive parents, giving her things that right now your sister can't... and giving them the blessing of getting to be parents... there are so many of us out there for whom that has to be a gift from others since we can't have children of our own.

Steph
Our family just went through this exact situation. The baby is much wanted and loved with the family who adopted, but there will always be a space in this family that only he can feel. My heart goes out to each of you. You will have to grieve, and then begin to heal. God Bless each of you!

Thank you everyone! I'm just getting ready to go see the baby. I bought her a cute little outfit that she will take with her. I'm looking forward to seeing her and taking pictures of her! My sister is doing good. My mom said that she seems to be doing good emotionally, And feels so good health wise! What a blessing for that. Poor girl has felt so rotten for 9 plus months. I'm happy she finaly feels good.
I'll answer more posts later. There are a few I need to respond to directly....but I don't have the time right now! So thank you all. I'll be back in a few hours and will update then!
HUGS!

OH boy, is she BEAUTIFUL or what? She is the sweetest little baby! I just sat there and held her for the longest time. I was able to change her diaper and feed her a bottle. I huged her and kissed her tons. She is so perfect. I will really miss her. It was hard to kiss her goodbye. I cried. So did my mom and sister. I did take lots of pics of her. So I'm very glad to have those.
She had the cutes little ears, she had black peach fuzz all over her ears and forhead....my little babies had that too. So sweet 
It was wonderful to spend the time with her and tell her over and over that I love her. She has the sweetest little face and angelic eyes. What a perfect baby.
I'm so happy she is going to a wonderful family that will love her as much as we already do. She will have many people here on earth that love her and pray for her.
Well, I'm sure this will be very hard on my sister tomorrow. She will sign the papers and the adoptive mother will be there to pick her up tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks again for all the love and prayers!

Steph, I haven't posted to you about this because it is such a personal and difficult thing for you and I didn't want our first introduction to be on such a serious issue. But I can't hold back any longer.
I am praying for your sister and your whole family. I think you have a very special family to be so supportive of one another. That will be a gift for your sister that she is blessed to have during this difficult time.
May your whole family find comfort in one another. As I said, I know we don't know one another very well, but just from what I've read from your posts, I think you are wonderful, sensitive compassionate sister. I just didn't want to step in when you may feel more comfortable hearing from those who you know better.
But I am praying for you as well.
Oh Augie you are too sweet! Thank you. I'm glad you jumped in and said what you did. You have very kind words, and I appreciate them very much!
Thanks for your prayers and positive thoughts!

Aww Steph that is so sweet!!!!!!! I bet it was SO hard to leave, I can't even imagine. Will you get to see her a lot? Where are the adoptive parents going to live? Close to you?
Well I'm thinking about you and your family - thanks for the update!!
