Terrible News...............


This is the most difficult news to post.

We just wanted to let everyone know that we will not able to proceed with the adoption of our son. Due to circumstances that were beyond anyone's control, we came to the heartbreaking realization that we will not be able to parent him. Needless to say, we are devastated. He is a beautiful, sweet child, and he deserves the right home.

This has been a very harrowing last 48 hours for our family. We have done so much soul searching, shed so MANY tears, and spent sleepless nights thinking about everything.

We did decide we are not ready to bow out of the process at this point, and have let the agency director know that we want to remain on the waiting list. We believe our child is out there waiting for us. Tragically, he was not that child.

Please pray for this sweet child, that he is cared for and loved and that he finds a forever family that is right for him. We will never forget that precious, sweet face.

Our family, friends, and community of fellow waiting parents have been such a wonderful source of support and encouragement. We thank you for all you have done to help us through this.

Praying for good news in His time.
