Kristi,
The right child for you is out there. I, too, called about another child and was devastated when I found out she'd been placed. It felt personal - like she'd been snatched. I prayed about it a lot, and finally came to the realization that perhaps she was there to show me that a "perfect match" was there for me. I also asked them to flag her in the computer in case the adoption didn't work out. I continued to call and monitor, and it appeared that it was a very successful placement. I was happy for her. I was able to let it go.
Not too long after, I found my daughter and knew immediately this was the child I was supposed to have. I had to fight to the top of the heap to get her. They were looking for a very dedicated family because this child couldn't handle any more disappointments. But she was a very attractive and bright child, so many families were interested in her.
Hang in there!
E. J.
