It's with a sad heart I write this post. Tonight we say goodbye to Hannah Vu Thi Men. Her birth mother has decided she wants her to remain at the orphanage. That is her right as a birth parent.
We continue to have faith that we are on the path God has chosen for us. God's plans are always perfect. We may not always understand them, but we don't doubt them for a minute. We serve an Awesome God and we are waiting for Him to show us His perfect plan for our family. Where He leads, we will follow.

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I am sorry that she changed her mind. I don't understand why that would be her choice, but I pray for Hannah and for her future. Once again, I am so sorry for your entire family.

ReplyDeleteI am angry, sad, disappointed, and hurt. I cannot fathom how a birthmother can relinquish her daughter and then condemn her to remain in an orphanage. I could understand if she wanted her back, but this is not the case. It makes no sense to me and that woman should not be allowed to have any more children!
Sigh. My heart hurts for you. I wish there was something I couls say to make you feel better. I will be praying. Poor Hannah.
Sandy,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that this has happened. I am at a loss for words. I know you will grieve and always there will be a little girl who's spirit surrounds your family.
Is there some way you could perhaps sponsor her so that she can get an education and make a life for herself outside of the orphange when she ages out?

My heart is breaking for you. I cannot believe her birthmother would make her stay in that orphanage instead of coming to a loving family. If you need to talk, I'm always there!
ReplyDeleteI wish there were words to express how sorry I am. There are however words to describe how angry I am at a system that allowed this to happen to Hannah & you, Mike & the rest of the Poko Pack. I'm just not allowed to use those words.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs.
I am so sorry to hear that little Hannah will not be coming to America to be with your family. My heart aches for you.

I am so sorry Sandy. How cruel that you waited and waited and stared at her picture daily, only to have to say goodbye. I pray for peace in your heart, and that Hannah is able to have a good life.
ReplyDeleteSandy,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I can't imagine your loss. Please know you all are in our prayers.
