We will be hitting the road and returning home early. The birthmother that has been in contact with our agency is no longer returning calls. She has decided not to place her baby for adoption and possibly never planned to place at all.
We are obviously disappointed and so heartbroken. Please pray for these birth parents and this baby girl in North Carolina. It hurts us to realize that the parents could be using their daughter to manipulate others and get money. Pray that this baby has a loving bond with someone who will take care of her.
While this is hard to experience, we know there is a reason, even if we don't understand. We are so thankful for our adoption agency, Graceful Adoptions in Iowa. They have worked so hard this past week to support the birthmother, but also to look out for us and to protect the funds we've raised and saved for an adoption. Although we've had travel expenses, our financial loss has been so small compared to what often happens in a disruption situation. We are grateful for the work they are doing to bring adoptive and birth parents together in a God-glorifying way.
Please pray for this family and for us as God shows us His plans. We are so thankful for all of you. Your support and prayers have been overwhelming.
