I love you avatar too.
When we lost our Thomas in early August one year, we found, with a lot of help, the litter that Dylan's mum was carriying. He came to us that October.
The pain of losing Thomas was so great that I do not know how we could have bared it if it was not the hope in our hearts that Dylan would come to us.
Good luck with your search Deb, I wish for you that it will help lighten you heart, even if just a little, as it did ours.
