Not the one...

Well, we went through a week of waiting to hear if a birth mother chose us to be the adoptive parents. We weren't chosen. It is such a weird feeling. You don't know exactly what to do. Do you get excited and anticipate the phone call? Or do you prepare to hear the bad news? I guess I went back and forth going through both feelings. One day I was ready to get back to the nursery and get it ready in case we were told the baby was coming. But then I didn't want to get too excited knowing that I may have to be let down. And then I tried to prepare myself to accept the news. And when the news came from our consultant that the birth mom chose someone else, I was upset but quickly thought..."well, that just wasn't our baby."

So, another blow. But we keep going, waiting, and anticipating when that phone call will bring us the good news and we can buy a crib!

A Prayer to Guide Us Through This

Susan had lunch with a friend who shared this prayer with her:

Please infuse my being with your light--surround me with your love, that I may be lifted up and carried by your grace. Whisper into my thinking the inspiration that will help me through this. Help me be clear and calm. Embolden my heart with the courage to stay present and connected, for I know that in your presence lies my healing. I ask you to guide me-and everyone involved in this situation-every step of the way. Lift my spirit into a higher vibration that I may grow from this experience and become my greatest potential. Let there be a miracle. I am open and willing to have a miracle occur. Let the healer rise and take charge. I thank you in advance as I know that it is already so.
