the fragility of life

We learned today that a baby from our agency's care center died this morning. They did everything that they could, and her nanny was with her the entire time. I am shocked and so saddened for all of the people whose lives were touched by this tiny little person.

Each day I try to imagine where our children are. Are they still with their birth family? Are they in one of the CHSFS care centers? Are we waiting to get the results of their medical testing? Are they healthy? Do they feel loved? Are they grieving the unspeakable loss that they will inevitably have to suffer in order for their lives to intersect with ours?

So many questions and no answers in sight.
