    I don't think I could keep the baby. I know good people that want to adopt and I think that would be my first thought. But, it made me grateful that she was willing to do what she needed to do.

    I think if I were single and had always wanted to be a mother, I would deem it my miracle. However, had my situation been anything short of that, I don't know.

    Finished the book. Cute story. Made me want to play Santa!

    I thought about this a lot this time as I read the book. It made me really think about it. I am one that really believes that nothing happens by chance. I think that things in life come together for a reason. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that I think I would have scooped her up and made her my own. But, I think that if that didn't feel right to me I would really think about what was going on in my life, or who I knew that would be why this had happened. My initial reaction was to say that I would take her as my own - I guess I still think I would. But, I would also be open to a different outcome being appropriate too!

    Sorry this is my first time to the site for awhile - I'm a little behind on posting but getting through the book and it's good! If I were in this situation I would want to keep the baby thinking she was sent to me. Ahhhh. But, Steve's brother and wife have been trying to get pregnant and to adopt for years now and I'm sure we would turn to them for the blessing.

    Hi - sorry this is so late - but I guess it's better late than never.
    I think I would have first tried all the legal ways to find out who was the mother of the baby. Then, if they would let me, I would keep the baby for sure. I really think we have a lot more love to give and to share than we sometimes realize. To help someone out who would otherwise have a pretty tough time in life would be important and almost magical to me.

    Sorry that my comments are late too, but here they are anyway. I think I would first make sure everything was done legally to try to find the baby's mother. If they couldn't find her, and if they would let me, I think I would keep the baby. I think we have more love to give and more love to share than we sometimes think we do. It would be a privilege to keep and learn to love this baby, and though it would be a challenge, it would also be a great opportunity to try to give this baby some tender love and a stable home that she might otherwise never get.
