Sorry Tom Petty, the Waiting is not the Hardest Part

It's hard to write, when there's not much to share.  We went through a hard couple of months in our adoption process.  Our agency was working so hard to match us with a child that they gave us a few referrals that we felt were beyond our ability to parent.  Our whole goal in this process was to adopt a child that would grow up to be an independent adult.  As adorable as these 2 girls were, we were not able to adopt either one of them.  We have a few physicians lined up to review files for us and we have really trusted their opinions.  They felt the first girl might never be independent and that the second girl might have such a severe condition she may only live a few more years.  Needless to say, it was still heartbreaking to have to say no.  I pray that they will find families that are more qualifed to handle their special needs and to love them as they deserve to be loved.

We prayed that May would be our month and we are happy to say that it was!  More to come in my next post!
