We have had another adoption fall-through.
On Thursday, as Joe was home recuperating from knee surgery, we received a call from our adoption agency. They said a woman named Jamie had chosen us to be adoptive parents of her baby boy, due on Saturday. We were thrilled.
Since then, however, Jamie has cut off all contact with the agency and has disappeared. When her cousin told the caseworker that she didn't know where Jamie was and couldn't get a hold of her either, we were told that we were officially being placed back in the queue.
So here we are... After five days of thinking a new baby might be in our very near future, we find ourselves waiting once again.
Patience is a virtue; I keep telling myself that. :)

Oh, Elizabeth! You are in my prayers. Isn't it amazing to think that God knows exactly who your baby will be, and that He is preparing you and the baby for the day when you will be together?

I thought of you so much. Not to say, certainly, that your path would be the same as this family's, but just that the path is never what we expect it to be!
Thinking of you! xoxo Kim
We had our bumps in our first adoption but, like labor pains, they were quickly forgotten once our son was in our arms! When your baby gets here you will be amazed at how he/she is the one that was meant to be in your family.
