God's grace is infinite! Thank you, Melissa, for keeping the faith, and following God's Will in your life. Thank you for showing us that we have been given the graces that we need to forgive those who hurt us. May you, your husband, baby, adoptive parents and birth parents be blessed with great love. I look forward to seeing you in your ministry in the years to come.
