Thank you. I cried, as it hit close to home. We are currently waiting for an out of home placement for our 12 year old daughter. My husband and I have been saying many of the things you wrote about for years, but it was beautiful to see it put so eloquently. Our hearts are breaking, but His mercies are never ending. Your book is something He revealed to me at just the right time. Thanks for your ministry.Psycho Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310390778188375950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284834466051368126.post-41991495472701644352011-08-09T22:40:42.650-04:002011-08-09T22:40:42.650-04:00I just found your blog tonight.

I wrote a review of yours but the email address she sent me the request from is no longer working. Can you please email me at jon@jonacuff.com so that I can send you the feedback I had for your blog?

I was adopted as an infant by loving Christian parents and the irony of this all is that my birth name was Lucas.... i'm a Canadian so maybe no connection? And 2 years ago in Dec we had a baby girl born to us with Down Syndrome so we also know the meaning of "special".

How very right you are. Our journey with our daughter has been one that we have only been strong enough to take on, piece by piece. We, too, have had to relinquish care of our daughter to others. Excruciatingly humbling. I have been working at being able to say thank you for this turn of events. You have helped me do that today.
