I just want to thank everyone for their encouraging words and prayers. They really mean a lot to us. We are ok. I thank God we hadn't held her yet. Never thought I'd be thankful for the flu, but in this case it saved us from even more emotional heartache. I loved her already. It makes me treasure my boys all the more and I have a new compassion for people who go through this who do not have any babies to snuggle after receiving a call like this. I know that there is a reason for everything that happens. I am glad that a mommy realized she can parent her child. I pray it saves them both from the pain that many adoptees and birthparents go through. I will continue to pray for them, even after we have our own daughter. Maybe God brought her into my life because He wanted me (and some of you) to be praying for them. For now, we have let this go and are moving on. We are working a little more diligently to get everything in order. We are mostly ready, but not completely. I think we'll be all set in a week or so. We need to finish up with Micah's rooms and move him in there (and out of hers). Then we need to find a dresser for her room and put the finishing touches on it.
We are back on the waiting list with our agency. The agency is having a 25th anniversary dinner tomorrow night and we are going to attend that. I am looking forward to it. Free dinner, free sitter, wonderful stories, and encouraging words.... can't go wrong!
