Lesson learned

Unfortunately we were not chosen :(

Even though K had a better connection with us and wanted to chose us the parents had a better connection with the other family and went with them. It's too bad the social worker gave us false hope that we were the ones without confirmation from Ks parents.

I feel bad that I got everyone all excited for us. Lesson has been learned that until it is completely official (and maybe finalized, well that might be going too far) we will wait on sending a broad cast email to everyone.

I know God has his reasons as to why this little guy was not meant to be a part of our family but it still hurts and we of course are very sad. We can't help but wonder if we will ever get to fulfill our dream of being parents.

I ordered a t-shirt today that says "Adoption- The Wait Is So Long But So Worth It!" I sure hope so cause this is killing us!

Please do not feel bad for sharing your journey with your friends and family. And that includes every single one of the ups as well as each down.

It's honor to experience the this with you both. I (we) are here to support you every single step of the way.

I know in my heart, your time will come to receive this beautiful gift. Please do not lose hope or faith. I can only speak for me, however I'm sure others will agree that... "we" will never stop hoping and praying for you.

Love,
Ron

Lots of hugs to you!!! I'm sorry that this match didn't work out, but I'm glad you were able to share it with us. It doesn't seem right to have so much hope and joy bottled inside. If we didn't know all of this was going on with you, we wouldn't be able to offer support and understanding now. Hang in there!

Please don't feel bad for sharing the news. You SHOULD be excited. And, isn't it nice to have friends and family knowing what you are going through and consoling you.

I felt so bad the other day when we were there and you received the news, I didn't know what to do. I hope you took my "words of wisdom" to heart. Don't give up hope, and don't stop sharing your journey with us all. That is what family and friends are for. Someday your dreams will come true, hopefully not to far down the road. In the meantime, you will be in my prayers. Love ya!
