Not fully saying I agree with the premise presented in this argument, but for the sake of discussion I'd like to follow it through. Why would it break his heart? I believe babies are before the age of accountability, so the baby would be with the Lord eternally, in no pain, at peace, and in the presence of rejoicing. God sees the big picture, therefore I God justily knows that for a baby to leave suffering of this world is actually better for the baby.
Secondly, there are many things that God would love to do, but doesn't because he's not invited to do them. God is a gentleman. I believe He actually said that His will is that none perish... but He won't force rescue on anyone.
I don't read anywhere that a door is opened... even if they never knock, or that answers are ever found... even if they never search... or that it's given... if they never ask.
