Today I write out of heart of sadness for some very special adoptive families. They are families that have learned in the last few days that they will not receive the baby that they thought would become a part of their family. We try to prepare families for failed placements but it is almost impossible to guard your heart in this process of adoption.
More than anything we strive to give birth moms the freedom to make the decision and plan that they absolutely believe is right for them and their baby. But in the same moment we long to see an adoptive family experience the joy of receiving a baby in their arms. The emotions are almost more than any human being can control.
But in the end, we know that God has a perfect plan for birth moms, babies and adoptive families. Trusting in God's sovereign plan is what keeps us believing, trusting and knowing.
In all of this, we want to encourage birth moms to be the very best parent they can be and to pray for and love adoptive families as they grieve their loss and wait on the completion of God's perfect plan.
May God bless you in this journey of adoption!

This post brings tears to my eyes. We were there a few months prior to them...twin girls. Yet the Lord knew best and brought us a precious baby boy a few months later.
I still think about those girls and their brother every now and then comfortable in the fact that God wants only for me to pray for them.
Everything is as is should be, there is no question. Failed placements are tough but God has healed our hurting hearts and I know He will do the same for them.
Hugs...
