You sound very heart broken...do you want to share your story with us? We are hear to listen and support you!

Tell us more about yourself! How many failed adoptions have you had? How many times have you been chosen only to still be empty handed?

I know the desire of wanting so desperately to have a child. I know the feeling of empty arms while you wait for the miracle to happen. I know the turmoil of the unknowns. Please know that I am here for you!!!

(((((Hugs)))))

I keep wondering the same thing, the heartbreak of each possible chance. My husband and I are doing some adoption advertising and hopefulness come when the phone rings. We have had three calls in the past two weeks, and I know it's just the beginning of the process. Each person says they will call back, and haven't. My brain understands, they are going through a tough decision, and I am just a voice on the phone. The last of the three phones call felt right in some way. She said she would call back at the end of the week, and no phone call, today it's been a week. I know in reality it's only been a short time, and time will tell, but my soul is sad. I am finding it difficult to focus, and keep waiting for the phone to ring. I know I should move forward, but wish I could have more control of this difficult situation of waiting to adopt. I hear/read the success stories and wonder when will it be our turn? Will it happen?

I am glad I wandered onto this part of the forum, and realize that others who are waiting are also experiencing some of the same feelings. The aching arms, etc...

What a tough time...I am sorry and empathetic to you all...we got to bring our son home in May and it was GLORIOUS - I am certain that day will come for you and I pray it will be soon! It is very difficult right now, I know, and sometimes I felt like I might just burst too - the totally out of control feeling was just about more than I could stand. But, God had a plan for us just as I am sure He has for you. Hang in there - I know it might not feel worth it right now, but it will! God bless you!

I'm with you guys on heartbreak. We've only been at this for not quite a year and I feel like I'm falling apart and don't know how to control it. It's very hard to explain to other people that haven't been through this, they don't get it and it's not their fault, they just don't know how hard it is.

And I know you have heard this before and belive it or not... Whether you have faith in God or not the simple answer can be found in the Word (and it applies to everyone) God will never give you more then you can handle!
For whatever reason you have faced this pain... and you will be stronger for it.... They say it is darkest before the dawn...and your feelings are common with people waiting to adopt... Almost all of us face a point in this process where we feel the fight is more then we can stand... but, that is usually the time when the Blessings come....
You will be in our prayers...and you will get through this.....
