No News is Good News

I want to start by thanking everyone for your prayers, your emails, and your comments. I can't tell you how it has made me feel to receive so much encouragement. This has been a rough week, but I'm OK. When they say adoption is a roller coaster ride, they weren't kidding. We were so excited and so confident, and in a matter of just two weeks, everything changed. I still have hope for this baby to be ours. This door is definitely not closed. I did talk to Connie today, but there isn't really much to tell. The mother is still where she said she was going to be. She has a new cell and she gave Connie her new number. She and Connie developed a relationship because Connie was the one who was with her the most. It is a very good thing that she is keeping the lines of communication open. When we met her, I gave her a bracelet that I made. Unfortunately the clasp broke, so I have gotten it back to fix it. Connie asked her if she wanted her to mail the bracelet to her, and she does. I look at that as a good sign since she still wants it. So, like I said, no new is good news. At least we still have a shot at this baby becoming part of our family. Please keep praying for the mother, the baby, Connie, and us. We all needs your prayers as we go through this.
