Our Daughter

Yesterday we received an update on our daughter. It seems that during her cleft lip repair surgery she suffered some trauma to her brain. She is no longer responding to people. She seems to be in a coma like state. She no longer sits, can not move her arms to reach for toys. She does not smile and she is no longer speaking or making any sounds. She does not show expression when held or played with. She was very tiny and under weight to begin with and her update says she has lost muscle tone. I can only imagine how thin and tiny she is now. With this new news and her declining health we have stopped the adoption. We are very sad, and heart broke to share this with everyone. We still consider her our daughter and love her very much. But know we can not take on what she requires, and at this point not sure if she will make it. Please keep our little angel in your prayers. We hope to continue another adoption sometime in the future, but for now we are still trying to gather our hearts around what is happening.
