Oliver, our Nik



He was born on October 31st. He weighed 6 lbs 6 ozs and was 20 inches long. His mother said he is doing very well, and she can't imagine how she would have given him up for adoption. I don't blame her. He's absolutely perfect, isn't he? We are thankful she made this decision before we met this little guy. Davin and I are crying tonight. We just want to hold him. But everything happens for a reason, right? Forget politics, this is what life is all about- little miracles like this baby.

He's beautiful...absolutely perfect.

I just left you that last tongue-in-cheek comment but now I see this and wish I could give you guys a hug. My laughter has turned to tears and it makes my heart ache for you... May God grant you the strength to walk through this trial. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Laura- I am so proud of the way you and Davin are able to handle this crisis in your life. I just have tears in my eyes as I am writing this. May God give you a little one to hold when the time is right. Love, Aunt Karen

We're thinking of you and saying extra prayers for you and Davin tonight.

It's so hard to understand why some things happen the way they do- I hope it's not too long until you're holding your beautiful, forever baby in your arms.

Call me anytime.

I cannot imagine how hard this must be for you and Davin. You both have unbelievable strength. I know there is a baby out there just waiting for the 2 of you and I pray he/she finds you soon.

ahh Laura. My heart goes out to you. It seems like you are going through all of the stages of greif...anger, sadness, etc. (not sure in order) which will help heal. I'm glad you seem at peace with their decision. Wishing you the best.

Oh Davin and Laura - How I wish that we could be there for you in person right now, as you took the time to be here for us once when life seemed so hard to bear. Hugs from both of us. We love you.

Oh, Laura. My heart aches for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I know you've heard it so many times, but God will give you the baby that was meant for you and Davin.
