Our hearts are broken as we ask for your prayers. Our birthparents changed their minds in the final hour before the paperwork could be signed this afternoon. We got to spend a final hour with our beautiful baby before saying goodbye & heading home. Please join us in praying that God would supernaturally guard & bless this little boy's life, & please pray for God's peace to reign in our lives.

Cousin, I am so sorry for your loss. Coming from me this may sound off but this is the time you look to the lord and know that he has a plan. Not just for you but also for the child. Holly and I are praying for you. Ben.
ReplyDeleteJames and I are so, so heartbroken for your two, but Ben is right -- God does have a plan for your family and for the sweet baby that slipped through your fingers today. We are praying that God will comfort you and overwhelm you with His peace, and we're praying that He will make His path clear.
ReplyDeleteBethany and Dave--we are so, so sorry--we will continue to pray and if there is any way we can be a help--you have our prayers, our hearts, our ears, and our arms-please let us know (thru you or others-cell 817-975-8957)-I love you and am praying and will add your specific prayer to the ones I am praying.

You don't know me but I am friends with Kym Tucker and have talked many times with Holly Peterson (although we have never officially met). My name is Becky and I have been praying for you. I was at lunch with Kym when she heard your news. I cannot get you out of my mind and my my heart is so heavy for you. Although I don't know you, I feel so connected to you. My husband and I just adopted our daughter in in June. I am so sorry that the birth parents changed their mind. I am praying for you tonight, my sweet sister in Christ, that God would bless you in an amazing way through all of this.
ReplyDeleteThe Wasingers led me here today. I cannot imagine the pain but I know it must be great. Praying God brings incredible redemption out of all of this...
ReplyDeleteBethany, we too are heartbroken for you and Dave. Please know that we are praying for you. I can't imagine the pain that are going through as you experience this loss. I pray that you are surrounded by friends and family to hold you as your process through this unimagineable grief.

I found your blog last week through facebook and bookmarked it so I could celebrate with you. But for now I will mourn with you and pray for you. May the Lord show His peace and purposes during this difficult time!
ReplyDeletePraying for you...
ReplyDeleteOh, Bethany, I know how much you have longed for this, and to have it taken away right at the last second. I'm SO, SO sorry. You and your husband will be in our thoughts and in our prayers.
ReplyDeletePraying all night and all day. We love all 3 of you so much!
ReplyDeleteDave and Bethany, we are so sorry for your loss. We are praying for the Lord to comfort you during this hardship, and we are also praying for the baby, that the Lord will bless his precious life. Love you and miss you,

Dear Bethany and Dave,
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for you and you have been in my prayers over the last few days. I am so sorry for your loss and the death of this dream. I pray that God will encourage you and give you all you need as you take your next steps in life.
Jason and I went through a similar loss a few years ago. I can invite you into our blog if you are interested in reading about it. - I remember weeping and praying and pleading for so long being comforted by nothing but the fact that God had a plan that was somehow better than all we had dreamed of... and that it was for His glory and not about me.
I'm praying that God will comfort and carry you through all this.
Because of Christ, Janelle
Oh Bethany and Dave, how my heart aches for you! I am so very sorry to hear about this happening. I am at the same time encouraged by the the grace and strength God is displaying through you as seen in what you wrote. You are all in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless,
