Heartache

I have a lot of tears and my heart aches but I know she was not meant to be with us.  I'll pray for the birth parents, they did nothing wrong by wanting to raise their child.  We experienced a failed adoption before Rogan was born and we now know we hurt then to be rewarded later.  I appreciate all your emails, texts, thoughts, prayers and kind words.  Adoption is a difficult process, it is not for the weak.  I document our journey for you so you understand what you may experience on your own adoption journey and to let you know you are not alone.   I'll be back to blogging soon but for now I will be with my boys and my husband enjoying the family members I have already been blessed with.

Praying for you and your family. I can't imagine the hurt, but I know that God has His hand in this. Thank you for sharing your journey. It helps ladies like myself know what can happen when starting the adoption process.

I am so sorry. We have also experienced a failed adoption, and I remember the pain well. I'm so thankful you are taking care of yourself and enjoying a little extra time with your husband and sweet little boys. Praying for you tonight.

Praying for your family. I pray that our family will be able to handle the emotions of a domestic adoption.This is the one thing that really scares us. When you are open and follow as God leads you, it is hard to live up to what is best for the child. I hope that we will do this as gracefully and unselfishly as you. Blessings to you!

I read about this loss for you on J's blog. So very sorry. I wish you and your family peace as you grieve the loss of this little girl who you no doubt already loved so very much.
