I would have loved you

All our waiting to hear if we were selected for T and J,

two sisters who we heard about back in January,

finally ended today, but it didn't end how we had hoped.

The social workers selected the other family for the girls.

We are so sad and disappointed, but-

As for God, his way is perfect;

the word of the Lord is flawless.

He is a shield for all who

take refuge in Him.

Psalm 18:30

We would have loved those girls,

but for some reason we don't understand,

God has a different plan for them.

Thank you so much for praying for us and them-

I feel a little bad that we keep asking for prayer

for adoptions that don't work out-

but we really do appreciate you and

all the support you've shown us through this process.

What now?
