May Support Group Meeting

We were totally thrilled about another support group meeting, and adoptive grandparents got to come tonight! :)

Three couples shared their adoption journey stories. The first couple that shared, we knew of them because the adoptive mother spoke at our orientation. :) Their story was great!!! The second couple to share was a couple from our orientation group last year. Their story was amazing. The third couple we have seen at support group meetings and poof they were gone. :) Now we know why. Hehehehe. :)

I had a difficult time tonight. I held it together until the end, and Charlie asked if I was okay. As I was explaining, Gloria came up to talk with us. I was so embarrassed that she saw me in my moment of weakness with tears... She reassured us that we were not being overlooked (haha). She also shared with us that they are having a lull with birthmothers coming into the office and choosing adoption.

I'm so thankful for all the support we have in our family and friends. Bethany has been amazing too!!! God led us to the right agency! I know that His timing is perfect, and that there is a purpose for this waiting period. I seem to be in a dip on this roller coaster of a journey, but I know that better days are yet to come. :) Yipee!!!

Please continue to pray for our Little Leonard whereever he or she may be, for his or her birthparents, and for our family. :)
