Welcome to the Adoption Roller Coaster

We have now been involved in the adoption process long enough to know that it is a roller coaster ride. Most families we know have had at least one failed adoption. Now we can join that list. We had been informed through a friend of a friend that there was a birthmother looking for a forever family for her child. We sent our info to her, but the friend of a friend wasn't able to get in touch with the birthmom for a couple of weeks. We anxiously waited to hear something and then yesterday we got word that she has picked another family. I'm still believing that there is a baby out there for us, but I was so hoping that it would be this one. Thanks for your prayers as we are still seeking God's will for what steps to take.

**Just FYI you can tell your friends/family that if anyone knows a birthmom looking for a forever family we are open to an infant and are open to any race....so spread the word. We don't have an agency so we are trying to spread the word ourselves. :)

Emily, are you open to kids with Special Needs? We hear of babies up for adoption occasionally who have Down syndrome or other disabilities. Let me know! :)

Sorry Emily. I've been wondering about all of that. We'll keep praying and keep our ears open.

right now we're not open to special needs adoptions.

I'm sorry that happened. I know the wait was excruciating. I'll be praying for ya.
