So in my last ward I had the sweetest visiting teacher who was awesome. She had shared with me her struggle to get pregnant. She had one child that she was able to conceive on her own and had been trying for 6 years after to get pregnant. After I had Josi she brought me dinner and she just held her, she wanted a baby so much. Shortly after that she let me know that she had been chosen to be the adoptive parent! She was out of her mind excited and was counting down the days. She finally got him and named him Tallon. I am not sure if you have seen her on the news and on good morning America today, but her son was just taken away from her after raising him from birth for 6 months. He is part Indian and this last Sunday night she was forced to give him back to his tribe. The terrible part is that he will be going into foster care within the Indian Reservation. I can not even tell you how sad I am for this poor family. Here he is in a wonderful home where he is so loved and well taken care of only to be taken out of his schedules and surroundings that he is comfortable and happy, only too be taken and put into foster care. The baby was born addicted to heroin and the parents had to ween him off the drugs. They spent every waking minute with at the hospital, and left only to sleep. I am not sure how this is even legal, but please pray for them. I feel awful. Imagine how you would feel if you couldn't.t stop worrying about your sweet baby, if he is being fed, given naps, and just being hugged and kissed. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers they need it! Make sure to hug and kiss your kids, remember how lucky you are to have them!

Oh my goodness! i saw her on the news and just about cried for her! I can't even imagine! What an awful thing. I will keep her in my prayers.
Her story broke my heart on the news...I cant imagine having to give my baby to strangers.
This story is so sad, I read it on the news last night. I can't believe this can really happen. Its terrible!
I watched that story the other night and my heart broke for those parents. I have never been a mother, but I would imagine that in six months a very strong bond is created with your child. I cant begin to imagine how difficult this has been.
A suit has been filed and by the grace of God this poor child might have a hope of being returned. Keep this in your prayers, people.
