We were almost matched with a birthmother. Almost. But it didn't work out.
Actually, we thought that we were matched for awhile. She viewed our profile and "picked" us during the last week of July. We were told it wouldn't be an official match until we spoke with her on the phone. So about a week later we spoke with her for an hour and half. We thought the call went really well. Baby boy is due late October and we started making some plans.
But sadly it was not meant to be. She had some personal issues to sort out and she put on the brakes. She had been getting some counseling from the social workers but it turns out she is not going to make an adoption plan.
We are disappointed, of course, but trust that God will bring us the child that is meant for our family. In a way I feel like I have no right to complain. We are so very blessed with the two children God has given us. And we just began the adoption process again - we never expected something to come along so quickly. However, I can't help but be sad thinking that we might have brought home a baby next month.
I continue to cling to "my" Jeremiah 29:11 verse... it helps so much to put my trust in The Lord, and to know that He has a plan for our lives.
