We are home but did not bring home a baby. The birth parents changed their minds at the last minute. We had a great 2 week vacation in Chicago and have tons of wonderful memories. We are sad but hopeful.

I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. 1 Samuel 1:27

I have been checking in on your blog for a while now, but I don't think I've ever posted. I am so sorry to hear about yet another disappointment. Your bravery and persistence is an inspiration to me. God has the perfect little Ellison for your family. Hang in there!
I'm not sure how I came across your blog..but, I have been following your story for a couple of months. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that I will be praying for you. I know your pain first hand! My husband and I have been in the same situation. We traveled to IL from NC and stayed for over 2 weeks. The 14 hour ride home was full of sadness. BUT.. continue to keep the faith!!! We were blessed with our son 6 months later. Know that God has your child set aside for you. He is preparing you and the birth family at this time...for HIS time and His abundant blessings!! Hold fast to His promise. Blessings, Laura
I am in deep prayer for you. God knows all things.
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
I was sent this part of a song when we found out one of our sons passed court and the other did not...I was reminded of it when we were rescheduled for court again, and then as we stood at the embassy and the clerk said: but we can't finalize this, nothing on his paperwork shows he is deaf...
People assume it is "easier" to adopt a baby domestically or "easier" to JUST go oversees, unless you walk the journey with the family-you can never understand the roller coaster of emotions and experiences
I am so sorry you guys have gone through this again...
prayers and love
you have been on my mind lately...hugs
