Adoption Update

Everyone,

We want to thank everyone for their support in our adoption process.  Many of you have supported us financially.  Some of you have watched our children for the many appointments.  Some of you have prayed for us, and all of you having been waiting in anticipation with us to bring our new addition home.  Please know that we love you and have been so blessed by your support during this time.  You have been a partner with us in this journey, and we are so grateful.  Not one penny or prayer or inquiry has been taken for granted.  All of those precious acts have shown us the love of God.

It is with a very heavy heart that we share this news with you.  The birthmother gave birth over the last fews days and has decided to keep the baby.  She did not call the advocate or the lawyer, so we know almost nothing at this point.  We have no idea if it is a boy or a girl.  We have no idea if he/she is healthy.  All we know is that this is not the child we will be adding to our home.

As you can imagine, we are taking this very hard.  Please be praying for us.  God has already shown us immeasurable mercy and grace, and we know that He will continue to.  In so many small ways over the last 24 hours, we have seen the hand of God upon our family.

Again, we thank you all for your support and want you all to know that we love you very much.

Please feel free to share this information to whomever you think may need to know.
