Day 152 Waiting for our baby through the miracle of adoption
We did what I thought we would never be able to do yesterday.
Yesterday we were presented with another birth mother who was interested in matching with us. We SO BADLY wanted to scream: YES YES YES YES YES!!!
We prayed...
It was NOT right for us. We received a CLEAR answer to our prayers. That baby girl is not meant for our family, but is meant for someone else.
So we said no.
We are waiting for God to lead us to OUR baby, not just any baby. We need to connect with the RIGHT birth mother, not just any birth mother.
But saying no broke my heart nonetheless. I don't know how much more my heart can take before it physically breaks into pieces.

What an extremely tough decission! You are so much stronger than you think you are! God loves you and will NEVER give you more than you can handle. Here's a good quote that at times has helped me get through my trials.... "When Life Gets To Hard To Stand, Kneel!"
As always... you continue to be in my prayers!
Oh MAN!I am so sorry. I am not sure if I ever told you this but another couple was told about Eden before us. A couple that also matched what BM wanted but had been waiting longer. They said no and I am sure it was impossibly hard for them to do that but I am so grateful they listened! It really is about finding YOUR baby. When you do, everything will be worth it.
Wow I admire your courage, strength and relationship with your Heavenly Father. I can only imagine how hard this must have been, hopefully you will be holding your little one in your arms soon.
We had to do that once too. It was SUCH a hard decision, but when it's not right, it's just not right. You'll be blessed for listening to the spirit. Best of luck to you guys!
When we were waiting for our first we turned down 3 different situations. Something I never thought I would have to do but we did and it worked out our baby was found but I cried every time we said no even though I knew we needed to.
I'm linking to you through your comment on my blog. This is the truest test of faith, isn't it? We've had to do that too and it was extremely hard. I think we had waited about a year for our second at that time. Keep your faith and hope alive. If you weren't meant to have a baby this way, the Lord wouldn't lead you here. I'll keep you close in my thoughts. Please feel free to email me if you need anything! I've so been there done that.
I just heard this quote in Relief Society this past Sunday..."It will be ok but it doesn't have to be ok right now." You're amazing Brittany! I couldn't have asked for a better sister I can look up to. Love you!
