Abigail Nicole: One Year Since Goodbye

It does not seem possible at all.

One year ago today, we drove Abigail Nicole to Children’s Services, where we signed a few papers and then went out to the parking lot to hand her over to the couple adopting her. Her new parents.

We took a few pictures and then climbed into the car and drove away from the baby we had given our all to.

One year later, I think my heart is still broken. It’s still grieving.

I know that I signed up for this, and that there will be many more goodbyes in the future.

I know that she is alive, happy and with a good family who loves her to pieces.

I know that I only had her for nine brief months.

But I still miss her everyday.

I still feel like a piece of my heart was taken from me that day.

I know that she will never remember us or the time that she spent in our home, but I hope that she knows that I did everything I ever could to love her, cherish her and get her into a safe, happy and healthy home.

We love you and miss you every day, Abigail Nicole. You will always be our second baby!

    I just read this post and got a little teary eyed. I think it’s amazing that you were this baby’s parents for 9 months. What a ride… I can’t imagine how you must feel. She’s beautiful.
