A heartwarming and also heart tugging story, Richard. I'm very partial to angels, too, so I liked the use of the angels throughout. They've been there for me on many an occasion.

Thank you Nancy, I have learned through experience that love abounds no matter what. My wife, and I, ask for your prayers. We have not heard from Scott for ten years now (He'll be 40 this summer) know one day he will come home and say, "Hi Mom and Dad. Missed ya."

This is a very moving story, which I doubt has ended here. I'm sure God and his angels are watching over your son. BJ

Yes, I believe in God and in Angels, and one day we'll see Scottie again. RLP

What love you and your wife have in your hearts and how fortunate Scott was to be adopted into your family! Keep believing and hoping that he will come home again some day and your hopes will turn into a reality. Keep on keeping on.
Blessings,
Sandi in FL.

Yes, we have faith Scott, like many similar young people, have to reconcile reasons why they were placed in the care of the Children's Aid Society. Before we moved to Nova Scotia 21 years ago, we discovered both of Scott's parents had died within six years of each other. We found the gravestones in another town and he just looked at the memory of parents he had not seen since the age of two. Scott was 18 when we brought him with us to Nova Scotia. RLP
