Troubling News

Soon after we received the last photos of you, we heard some troubling news on the message board. A couple in St. Louis named Angela and Larry who are also in the process of adopting a baby, and in fact had been at the same stage we were (waiting on PGN approval), lost their referral. The baby’s birth mother had changed her mind and decided to parent the baby herself. It is too difficult for me to imagine being in that situation, and my heart totally goes out to Angela and Larry. For a couple days, I could not get their loss out of my mind. If I had heard that news, I don’t know how I would have been able to bear it. I love you so much that the thought of not getting to be your mom is almost impossible to fathom. I would do whatever God asks me to do for love of you, but losing you would be a very difficult cross to bear. I understand it is not common for the birth mother to change her mind that late in the game, but obviously it does happen. I pray for peace for all those involved.
