Well, once again we are riding the roller coaster of adoption ups and downs...the birth mother we were so hopeful about chose a different family. I have to admit it, I am crushed. In my mind, we were a perfect match. Scott (as usual) is way more levelheaded about it and accepts that she connected with a different family and that our perfect child is still out there. I know that too, it's just harder for me to reconcile my heart and my overwhelming desire to be a mom. I know without a doubt that God has already hand selected the child He wants us to raise...I just have to be patient and wait on His perfect timing.
So, back to waiting...faithfully, patiently waiting...all I know is that we are ready for whatever comes our way!!
Sonia,
ReplyDeleteIt is so frustrating to be on that roller coaster, especially since you know you can't get off because the end result is so going to be worth it. I know you will be an amazing mom and BELIEVE me the wait will be worth it. I know that so many people tell you that if it doesn't work out "it's not meant to be" but having Kate in my arms makes me fully believe that all of my "near matches" (3) were never meant to be. Stay strong, stay busy and stay positive. Love you girl. You'll have your little Hawkeye in your arms soon enough!
Love Gina and Kate :)
