Doing the loop-dee-loop on the roller coaster

This week has drained me completely! We had been speaking with one birth mom for a while pretty seriously. We had built a good relationship just from the emails we had shared together. We didn't know what direction she was going to go with her decision and she had told us she was trying to decide on the right family. Yesterday we got an email saying she decided on another family. It felt like a really bad breakup where your heart just aches! It left me feeling so emotionally tired that I just wanted to hide in my bed for a while. After I had my moment(seems like I'm having a lot of those lately) I pulled myself together and reminded myself of my own words to this girl. Heavenly Father is in complete control of all this stuff! We knew from the start that this girl was going about the whole thing the right way with lots of praying and soul searching for the answer she needed. She wanted to make sure this baby went to the right family. Lance and I both know that her decision which ever way it went would be the right one. Although it hurt we also find peace knowing it wasn't the right one. And once again, That's O.K.

On the other hand we have other people that have shown interest in us so we will continue to go 80 MPH on this joyous ride!

You have the right perspective Dani. You'll get the baby you're supposed to have. When the time is right. Love you.

Just keep that perspective Dani! Things will happen how and when they should. This process is too sacred for the Lord not to be involved. Love you guys.

Uggh. I was even getting attached to her. But I agree with you and the above comments.
