It is Christmas eve, and in my family...it's a time for games, goodies and great celebration. As I join in the festivities, I can't help but reflect on the events of recent weeks. Even though we are in the midst of sorrow, I am thankful for the many blessings in my life. While continuing to know the great hope of adoption and the gift of parenthood, we also experienced a miraculous pregnancy and several weeks of expectant joy. Now that our pregnancy is coming to an end, I smile through the tears knowing that our ninth child is resting in the arms of the Lord.
This Christmas, I celebrate the loves we have known, and the love we have lost. Most of all, I celebrate the Savior.
May you know the the greatest love of all. Blessings, Ramona

Hello Ramona and Wade,
I just heard the good news today and then got on your blog to read about it and I feel so bad for you. You are in my prayers. Give Liliana a great big hug for me.
Love,
Ann W.
Ramona, as you experience this loss like many others, may you feel God's strong arms envelope you and Wade. There are no words to say how you must feel, only one who has experienced this kind of loss would know. We read a few days ago that God could have easily sent his son as a man, had him crucified soon after, which would have kept him from experiencing the harshness of real life and humanness. But he didn't; He wanted us to be able to relate to Jesus, Him to us, to know our struggles and pain. May this new year bring a special child into your lives. Love, Leigh Ann
Ramona and Wade (and Liliana)-
We are continuing to pray for you guys in your loss, but also in anticipation of what God will do in your family in the coming years. Looking forward to seeing your smile soon -
the Bauers
