Our adoption journey has been a wild ride, and it's not over yet.
We're sad to share with you that the baby girl we thought we would be bringing home this past week did not come home with us after all. For those who don't know, there is a 48 hour waiting period before a birth mom can fully relinquish her rights, and our birth mom decided at the end of that time that she wanted to parent her baby. We are heartbroken over this, but we know the Lord is good and are trusting his provision and faithfulness even as we grieve. We are prayerful for that sweet baby girl that we got to meet and hold in the hospital. We trust that the Lord loves her more than we ever could, and more than her birth mom ever could, and we are believing that God has good plans for her life.
We are now considered a "waiting family" with our adoption agency, and are hopeful that sometime soon we will get a call about another baby.
