And there is nothing that makes it easier, only time lessens it a bit.<BR/><BR/>I actually could barely type this hearing that song. It was the one I'd chosen for the adoption DVD of Gracen (it would have been the first song, as we got her referral and I planned to have it up until the Gotcha moment, when it would change again).<BR/><BR/>Anyway. Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into me- but I know the feeling of losing a child, and it's so hard... I hope you when you at last find your girl, it will make sense why this little girl was placed with another family.kitchuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907460384010952009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37100528.post-15435895188037631742007-10-11T21:56:00.000-04:002007-10-11T21:56:00.000-04:00Awh she is adorable.

If you're open to adoption, then you are already the kind of person who will have your heart broken while waiting for your child because you feel so much compassion for them. It's hard to look at a referral picture without falling in love. We have to have faith in God's timing, easier said than done.jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812758330851051793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37100528.post-3944726304775297732007-10-11T15:44:00.000-04:002007-10-11T15:44:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry you're hurting...trust that your baby...I'm so sorry you're hurting...trust that your baby will find you, and that hopefully it will be soon!

I have no good advice either on how to handle it, we haven't gone the list route because I don't know that my heart and mind would align together and I'm scared to make the decision. I just want China to say, "This one is yours." However, all of my friends that did the SN list said that they just knew when they saw their childs face. I think it's true, you'll just know.

The waiting, the feeling of having no control are all feeling that I have such a hard time with. I wonder if I'm not supposed to learn these two traits before becoming a mom, because waiting and control issues are definitely two of my weaknesses.<BR/><BR/>I am glad that little girl found a home. She is beautiful.

Please know my heart aches for you, there is NOTHING easy about waiting and wondering from month to month which child is for you.<BR/><BR/>Something that really struck me recently when I was reading in Matthew 9 about Jesus and miracles, is this - God is NEVER late. I often think oh, our referral is so late (and humanly speaking it is - 8 months and still waiting since we should have had our referral) but the truth is God is never late, His timing is perfect and your child will be united with you at just the right time, as will ours. In the meantime I pray that God will give you strength, comfort and peace in your heart as you wait and wonder.Much Adohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034590806354970188noreply@blogger.com
