“I went for car drives and SCREAMED. I felt so much bitterness and anger. No one could tell us how long she’d live. Maybe just a few more hours, maybe months… we had no idea.”
“I am not the person I used to be.”
“I mourned the potential loss of a forever family. My heart was double aching for the loving home I knew we could provide a child in need.”
