I love you and know that God has one of His special children for your family. You are an incredible family and whoever he/she may be will be so blessed. I love you.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019242777060671211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477698650703894277.post-70345301344607486972011-05-11T10:47:38.603-07:002011-05-11T10:47:38.603-07:00Hugs to you !!!

I know the sadness of not proceeding with an adoption that you thought would take place- although the circumstances are differenet, I know that heart ache. Be encouraged that, for whatever reason, our Father has you exactly where He wants you. The child we were referred is not the one we are adopting- we traveled to meet her and knew after 2 days that something just wasn't right. Our agency rep was amazing and encouraged us in our decision, telling us not to feel guilt- that it doesn't mean that child will never find a home. It just means sh wasn't the right one for our family and we weren't the right parents for her. Then we were given the paperwork to meet our Sunshine! This child never would have been referred to us- it was God's leading that brought us to her. Stand firm in your faith and in the journey He has for you. I will pray you find wisdom and discernment with your decisions.<br />(ps- we also used this same Doc and they were at first worried about our Sunshine- but a remeasure of her head gave the "clearance" of "average" risk).<br />Praying!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477698650703894277.post-70972538928152107632011-05-11T07:21:03.070-07:002011-05-11T07:21:03.070-07:00Vicki, I'm so very sorry!

We too had a little boy's picture for some time and turned out he had hydrocephaly and would not live to be an adult. I couldn't take this little boy's face out of my mind. I cried because I wanted to do something for him - to help him. You can help her by praying and asking your agency to help her find another family and working with special needs groups to help promote/place her. This just means that your baby is still yet to be revealed and you will get the baby you're supposed to have. I promise you that's the truth!Sabrina and Giorgiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785230439755968944noreply@blogger.com
