I apologize if this post doesn't make sense but I feel I need to update, even if I don't have the words to explain. This has been an excruciating week for Steve and I. We found out that the birthmother of the baby we were going to adopt next month changed her mind and would not be placing the baby with us. We feel brokenhearted and hopeless. We always knew this was a risk with adoption but we really didn't think it would happen or play out the way it has. We felt good about our initial decision to adopt this baby and felt like we had a good relationship with the birthmom. We felt a lot of love and reassurance from her for so many months. Everything just seemed to change so quickly. So here we are again--hurt, not understanding why we have to keep going through these difficult things. Why couldn't we have been spared from this one? We are once again trying to pick up the pieces and move on. It's very hard. It's difficult to find hope and peace again.
We thank everyone that has reached out to us and offered love and support to us during this time. It truly does mean a lot to know you are loved.

Christy! I am just so heartsick about this. You guys are in every single prayer of ours. We are in disbelief. I have struggled with that hope and faith thing...it's not fun or pretty. It's weird how life is, but don't give up. I have more hope for you than ever! Love you!
Christy and Steve, We can't express how much we love and care about you both. We are thinking about you and praying for you daily. Please let us know if there is anything you need. We love you.
