What's new ...

Sorry we have been missing for a while now. We are still looking for a little person to join our family.  I remember writing the first post for this blog.  We had just finished up some training and I wrote how people had been waiting for years to adopt, and I felt so bad for them and their families.  We are approaching our 2 year mark:( never did I think that it would take this long.  It has been a long two years.  I like to believe that we have grown  and learned a thing or two over the past couple of years.  We have learned to not take ONE single thing or day for granted.  We are very blessed, we have a wonderful daughter, fabulous family and friends, and all the "things" that we need.  But our hearts are still missing something, our arms ache to hold a baby, part of our home is empty.
Over the past couple of months we have came so close to welcoming a baby into our home a couple of times, but for whatever reason it has yet to be our time.  Right now we are healing from a VERY painful failed placement. Our hearts break for anyone who has had this experience.  We had the bags packed.  We had the tickets bought.  We had the baby shower.  We had a name.  We were ready, we had prepared for 3 months, done the paper work told our family and friends. We were ready.  Unfortunately in the end we were left without the baby. We were and still are broken. A part of us died that day.  We loved him. So while we are picking up the pieces and trying to help our daughter understand. We pray everyday for OUR baby to find us. We have to move on, and look forward, even though sometimes it just easier to sit on the couch crying wondering why.  That's not how we were raised, trials and heartache happen and with each passing day we get stronger. Each day we are closer to finding them.  We are looking and we need to help of our family and friends.  Please if you know of any situation, pass along our information.  We love you.
