I'm so sorry the referral was not right for your family. Matt and I will be praying even more for you as you wait to see what next steps will include. Trust your decisions...you know what is best for your family and you'll know when you meet the right child.<BR/><BR/>We so enjoyed our time with you in Kiev and enjoyed meeting Aiden. I hope the weather stays as nice as it was our last days there so you can spend more time outside with him.<BR/><BR/>Feel free to email if you want to vent, bounce ideas off another, etc. We're praying for you!!!Kathy and Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325130949702199172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512889675041229301.post-30273310959523293192008-02-27T15:33:00.000-05:002008-02-27T15:33:00.000-05:00My heart goes out to you.

You are right there is no way to actually explain to others the way it feels. It is draining. Noone can ever understand exactly what your family has experienced.<BR/><BR/>Have faith. Dont give up.

It just drains you in all ways.<BR/>We will be thinking about you guys and try to send positive vibes your way. When one door closes, another door opens. It may not be to the direction you thought you were headed, but each door opens you to an amazing room to give you the opportunity to fulfill a part of yourself.<BR/><BR/>AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08140747599532143155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512889675041229301.post-50505522492207687542008-02-27T10:49:00.000-05:002008-02-27T10:49:00.000-05:00We will continue to pray for your family!

Please know that our hearts are with you. We understand the emotional roller coaster of it all. Sometimes a family just needs to circle the wagons and take time alone to regroup before moving on to the next step. Hang in there. May God be with you.

You are correct in that adoption is draining and an emotional roller coaster but the reward can be so sweet. I have to tell myself everyday not to lose sight that God's timing is always perfect. We will continue to pray for your family.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11164196524432452978noreply@blogger.com
