Even sadder: it seems that they were told they could never get pregnant, Baldwin’s wife got pregnant anyway, but it was a very difficult pregnancy. It seems she is still in the hospital or otherwise having health problems. Baldwin left the baby with this sitter, who was a friend of his wife, because he was called in to work on an emergency basis. Clearly this is not a case in which career-obsessed neglectful parents abandoned their child to the care of a sitter regularly. These people were doing everything right—marriage first, mom isn’t working, dad is, enough money. God’s ways are not our ways and we can’t understand why He sometimes allows such things to take place. What a horror! Their sole comfort in their grief is that they’ll see their baby in heaven, but it’s a long, sad, hard time to wait ‘til then. I pray their marriage survives this.
Wow. That is truly gut wrenching.
Wow! Tears — and prayers for this couple. Thank you for the info.
