A couple I know have a son who was adopted when he was a baby. He has grown up with ADD and the parents finally tried meds after trying every other option. He can manage fine.

He was 16 and his GF moved in with the whole family as her home life was not very good. She was expecting though very few people were told.

I got back Tuesday morning from my cousin's inurnment and was checking obits for another friend who had passed away, and I got a shock. The wee baby girl, after kicking and everything for the past few months, was born full term - but still born.

I can't imagine this pain except it must resemble being ripped in half.

Prayers, please, for the expectant grandparents, aunts and uncles, and the young parents themselves. There was solid family support and that baby would have wanted for nothing, especially love.

Thank you.
