HELPING MINISTRIES MOVE FORWARD

Bringing Baby Home

After four boys, my wife and I were excited to bring our new daughter home from the hospital. Our six year old, Zachary, watched as we snipped the hospital bracelets off her tiny wrist and ankle. Knowing Zachary was hoping for a boy, I asked him, "What do you think of your new sister? Should we keep her?" He replied, "We have to keep her; we already took the tags off."
