Well, due to circumstances beyond our control the two siblings we have been trying to adopt are no longer available for adoption. Our hearts ache for them and our families here. My heart is heavy. I can see why adoptive Mom's compare losing a referral to losing a pregnancy. You carry these children so close to your heart for so long and then knowing you will never meet them in person or hold them hurts you in a way you didn't expect. We haven't told our kids about it yet and not sure if they will understand it completely.
We are uncertain what lies ahead for us. Right now I can not think past the hurt and am looking to God for comfort and direction.
Pray for our family that God will make his will known for us.
