LITTLE UPDATE

I just wanted to let anyone who is following my posts for information on Clark and Tif's baby know what is going on. A week ago they brought Baby Girl home. Today, due to custodial issues with the birth father, they don't know if they will be able to keep her. They've had what must have been the worst week of their lives and they are completely exhausted physically, mentally, and spiritually. I got just a quick glimpse of her Saturday night when we picked up my neice Tiani for mini-golf. They are still not up to taking visitors. She is a beautiful little girl with tiny features, lots of brown curly hair, and a cute little mouth. Their little family has been the focus of our prayers and good thoughts this past week.

It stinks that we can't control every situation, or predict the outcome of our choices, especially the ones we make that feel like they are for all the right reasons. Whatever the ultimate outcome may be for my brother and his family, their lives will be changed irrevocably. I also believe that no matter how difficult certain experiences are, time and distance helps somehow, and life has a way of becoming sweet again. Hopefully someday really soon, we will get word that little Sadie will be a permanent part of the Swensen Family.

We were so excited to hear they were getting another baby. How hard to not know whether they can keep her. We will keep them in our prayers and hope all works out for the best with them.
