Dan and Linda, I am really sorry to have to be sharing this information with you…but
oh geeze, sick feeling in pit of stomach when I read that.
She goes on to tell us that the meeting on Monday has been postponed. That Ks parents feel that because of her age she is unable to make such a serious commitment to one family without meeting another. And that they want her to explore all of her options before they will feel comfortable supporting her in her decision. (note - when I say Ks parents I'm referring to her Dad and his girlfriend, just easier to type Parents)
Well, this other family had better be something spectacular to outshine us! Cause we are pretty darn great ;-)
Rachel did say in her email that her parents think we are an excellent family and them meeting another has nothing to do with the very positive impression they had of our family. So that is GREAT news!
She is hoping to be able to give us a more solid direction of their decision by Tuesday or Wednesday. UGH, more waiting!
Over the next few days there is going to be alot of praying to give me the patience and support to get through the next several days. I know that if this baby is meant to be in our lives then God will see that it happens.

I'll be praying for K's "parents" for you. It is so hard (I'm not sure how old you said she was) to council these situations. (Did you know that I volunteered at a Crisis Pregnancy Center in Mpls for 3 years, and that is what called me into the field of Maternal and Child health???) I'll be praying that her Dad lets her make her own decsions regarding her baby, not theirs.
Even though this is a hard time, I am sure that God will bless it and make you better parents because of it.

Oh hang in there.
Oh, man! I logged on to see if you'd updated on your meeting and read this instead. I know you two must be going through some tough emotions right now. We are thinking about you and wishing you all the best. I know it's tough.

Linda.... nuts. I was sorry to hear your meeting was moved back. It's so hard, I know. This is such a huge decision for someone to make and it can take time. Honestly you want to know that they 100% choose you because with open adoption, you will forever be connected. I say "they" because whether it is good or not, her "parents" are her support system right now. Hoping for the very best....
