loud and clear

I hear you Lord, I do.  Am I listening? Yes, but it's so hard. 

A baby girl with down syndrome was left at the hospital recently.  Her young mother just left her there once she found out she had DS.  When I heard this my first thought was "give her to me."  I will raise this baby as my own, give her every chance at life possible.  Then it hit me, maybe after all of this that is what we are meant to be, parents to the 'unwanted.'   For me, adoption is a final straw and I'm just not ready yet.  It's giving up and I can't do that, not yet.  Let me get through this upcoming surgery and see where we stand and then Lord, I will not only listen, I will follow your commands.  Ok, I'll try to, how's that?
