And so the waiting continues...

Before I begin with the latest news about our adoption journey, I want to take a minute to thank everyone for the prayers, thoughts, and kind words over the last couple of weeks. It has been so encouraging to us that each of you have lifted our names up in prayer in this situation and throughout the entire journey.

We have in the past few days learned that the birthmother has in fact been working with two adoptive families. We being one of them. About a week ago, us and our agency began to feel our birthmother pull away from us, but nievely we thought it might be attributed to her own emotional rollercoaster. As the days played out, we now know the other adoptive family gained custody of the baby. Clearly he is not the Red Fisch we had been waiting for. I'm sure this poses a lot of questions in everyone's minds reading this. Truly we don't have many answers. The timing and series of events that have played out while frustrating and sad, are knowingly some part of a plan that we can not see - God's plan. That is what we choose to believe and focus on during this time.

What are our next steps? We take time to heal. We take time to replenish our savings. :) We decide what we will agree to in the next adoption. Yes, we will try again.

Until the next step...
