We just heard from our social worker that we were not chosen this time around. It was a hard thing to hear. we are working through the disappointment. The biggest thing we need to work through is the question "why weren't we good enough?". We know that there are a lot of wonderful families out there waiting for a child and it has to be a very hard decision for the birth mother to make. We need to remember that this will all happen for us in God's time. I know He is using this process to work in our loves. Right now He is teaching us patience and to rely on Him and Him alone to get us through this.
"but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint."
—
Isaiah 40:31
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."
—
Romans 12:12
"I waited patiently for the
Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry." —
Psalm 40:1
Please keep us in your prayers as we work through hearing this news.
