With love in our hearts...

We are sad to have to announce that the birth mother who chose us has changed her mind and has decided to parent her baby. We have a great deal of love and respect for her and ask that you will pray for her and for her son. We know that the decision whether to place a child for adoption is never an easy one and that she has a lot to deal with right now that we can't understand. We have been so blessed to be allowed to see the hand of the Lord in our lives as we've traveled down the road of adoption and have witnessed many miracles. We knew from the start that our path may be a bumpy one, but we also know that the Lord will bless our family to grow in His time. We look forward, with arms wide open, to the time our family will grow again. We are more grateful than ever for your support and prayers along the way!

We are sorry to hear this, we know how frustrating this can be. Blessings we sometimes think are intended for us, are meant to be blessings through us to others.
