This is just so unfair to you after all you have already been through. Adoption is so hard on the heart sometimes. I know. Know that I will be lifting you, Ben and his birthmom up in prayers that each of you find peace in the decisions that have been made and that God will lead you where He wants you to be.

Nothing anyone can say at this moment will ...Beth,<br /><br />Nothing anyone can say at this moment will help. There will be many who do not understand that this is like a miscarriage for you, and I am even sorrier for the pain that comes from that lack of understanding.<br /><br />What was the purpose of this time in your life? What was this meant to accomplish? No one will really know, but perhaps in time you will see how you grew from this experience, or how it turned you toward or away from something.<br /><br />I know it is hard to think of the birth mom returning, and that the doubt will forever linger about her ability to care for him. <br /><br />It is hard to remind ourselves that these are truly not our children until the court docs are signed, for they surely are imprinted upon our heart as if they were ours.<br /><br />It will take time for you to evaluate and make your next move. It will take time to grieve this loss. Please allow your heart to hurt for as long as necessary, and don't give up hope that your child is out there somewhere waiting for you. For if you give up hope, your child might just be lost forever...and he or she needs you to remain in the game...be it in Kyrgyzstan or elsewhere.<br /><br />Many hugs your way,<br /><br />CindyCindy LaJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486626867331586704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2266655020350237128.post-76766723760175895882009-10-06T15:21:41.944-07:002009-10-06T15:21:41.944-07:00Oh Beth!

I just can't even imagine getting that phone call---whether people judge it or not, one of the reasons we were looking into international adoption was because we felt there may be less of a chance of that kind of call on the international front vx. the domestic. That aside, all the longing and heartache you've gone through while you've steadfastly waited for the miracle he is...I know your heart is just broken. Know this--B has been so loved by you and will always be in your heart. I will pray that his birth mother truly is what's best for him and his life will be blessed. And for you, friend, I pray for peace of mind and your soul to know that ours is not to understand the plan, but to know there is one and we are held in God's palms all the while.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828552745708177768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2266655020350237128.post-15998200878564621472009-10-06T11:31:52.813-07:002009-10-06T11:31:52.813-07:00Beth, I'm so sorry to hear this, my heart goes...Beth, I'm so sorry to hear this, my heart goes out to you.
