We ended our journey!
I'm sorry to say, but this was just not the right time for us. I know that there will be a day that is right for us, we will just leave it in God's Hands. However I will still be lurking looking for all the "OUTS" & "PINKS".
I wish all of you the best of luck in your journey & may your time fly. God Bless All,

Glad you were able to do what is right for you and your family at this time. Your time and place will come, probably when and where you least expect it!!

You seem very at peace with your decision and I hope that you find what your future is intended to hold and that it involves another angel! Good Luck with everything!

Sounds like you made a thoughtful decision. I know you weighed all the options and that this wasn't a quick decision. I agree, keep your heart open and you might find your little guy in a most unexpected place. Keep in touch here!

I definately wish you the best. I'm sure that decision did not come easily but I wish you peace with your decision to follow your heart. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Today I was talking about my infertility/miscarriages to a co-worker in a way that I had not done in awhile. Although I do know this, it made me realize even more that we were led to this adoption and to more specifically to Gabby. It may be that now is not the right time or that the Lord has plans for you that you may not even be aware of yet. Follow your heart, keep an open mind, and trust your decisions. Again I wish you the best for you and your family!!!

Thank you all!
I do believe we are at peace with our decision, however like you said our little guy is out there we just don't know where & when. The Lord is good, sometimes I just wish someone would come knocking on my door & say "I heard you wanted a baby, well I know where one is" wouldn't that be awesome.
Tristan just had is 2 years check up, and one of our nurses got a baby this way. Long story short one of the patience that goes to the doctor, her niece was giving up her baby & this is how she became a Mommy! The story just gives my chills when she talks about it. Like I said I don't care if they are Red, Yellow, Black, Brown or White every babies deserves to be loved, and my heart has lots of loving to give again one day.

You never know how or when the right child will come to you.. We received a call about a birthmom, and two months later, we were driving to TX to pick up our son.. We went from having no children to having four in three years! God bless you and continue to give you peace with your decision..

Sandy,
I'm sorry you aren't going to be joining us this time around on the journey, but I wish you the best! I know you know the blessings of having a little "Guetamalteca," and I'm sure this was a tough decision for you. Please keep in touch! Carolyn
