Unhappy Update to Toddler Adoption post--oh no!!!

Just got a call from our agency. There may already be a problem with this adoption and we may not be able to proceed. We lost a referral earlier this month, and I was SURE this one was it!

They're looking into it and will hopefully have an answer for us today.

We pray for God's plan for this little boy's life... and we hope that we can be part of that plan.

I'm going crazy waiting for them to call back... hoping the next phone call will bring better news.

Unhappy Lost referral--

Sadly, we lost this referral today, too. Thanks for the prayers and support. I know there will be another child for us, but I worry about these two children.
