I felt the same way after our second failed adoption. One week after the second failed, we received a call about a newborn in immediate need of a family. I was still mourning the loss of the last baby and didn't think I could go through with it again. My husband encouraged me to come with him and meet this baby...who I am happy to say is our son now. The moment I met him, I knew he was my son. I now look back at the failed adoption and realize that it was the best thing that could have happened to our family. Our son needed a home right at that instant and we needed him and fate brought us together. If the other adoption had succeeded, we would not have been able to give our son the family he needed right away. So, we were destined to be a family.
This story doesn't lessen the pain, and it is a terrible loss and I am really heartbroken for you, but maybe hearing our story will help ease the pain just a little.
