For those of you who don't know, we had quite a curve ball thrown at us last week concerning our adoption. After looking through our dossier, the Colombian Government decided not to approve us based on age. As soon as we heard this from our agency, our hearts broke. We have lived the last year of our lives planning, dreaming, and working so hard for our kids and now we lost them. We have prayed for our kids everyday, we built bunk beds, we "kid-proofed" our home and now they will never see any of it. It breaks our hearts to not be packing for our trip to get them right now. We just wanted to hug them and kiss them and now we will never do that. We are mourning the loss of our family right now and we would deeply appreciate your prayers through this time. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to us...it truly means so much. It is so hard for us to know that there are kids out there who need love and we have so much of it to share but for some reason right now we can't do that. We are searching for God's plan in all this. Someday I hope that we can see that plan.....
We knew that adoption is perhaps not the easiest way to grow our family but we still believe deeply in it. We have by no means given up our dream of adoption...it is just on hold for the time being. There will be kids for us and when the time is right God willing we will bring children home to our house that is all ready for them. In the mean time, God has laid on our hearts some ways to help make adoptions an option for some who could not do it on their own. Perhaps God will provide the opportunity for those dreams to play out. Well I have had about as much as I can handle right now...we will continue to keep you all updated.
