Elley - I'm so sorry you are going through a hard time. I don't have a lot of encouraging words cause I'm in the exact same boat you are - so maybe it's comforting to know you aren't alone. I think all the time that God is just continuing to test my faith and patience and I try to understand but when I see the news say someone beat a child or tried to flush a child down the toilet or something - I don't understand and I am bitter. Ok - I know - not that uplifting - but I do know from all the wonderful people on these boards that it will be worth it. There is some quote that I try to tell myself, "God never said it would be easy, he just said it would be worth it." And there are so many people on here that remind me of that daily. So hang on - there is a child out there for you and it will come - just not in your time or my time, but His time.

If you ever want to chat don't hesitate to drop me a note.
