Most of the time adoptions go smoothly after the match and everything works well. Sometimes though, for whatever reason the birthmother changes her mind and decides to parent.
We are on the somtimes side of things right now. We found out this week that the birthmother decided to parent the sweet boy that we were going to adopt. We are sad and frustrated, but also holding onto our Faith and knowing that he just wasn't the baby that was supposed to be a member of our family. We are praying for him and hoping that he has a happy life filled with love and laughter, and that the birthparents are content in their decision.
We are not discouraged. We know that one day we will get to be parents to a sweet baby who needs us just as much as we need him or her. This isn't the end of our journey, just a little hiccup. We are looking forward to Christmas with Benson now that we will be here, and are excited to see his face on Christmas morning when he sees Santa finally brought his presents he has been asking for.
We hope everyone has a Very Merry and Blessed Christmas!
