Our last update on Isaac for now....

This evening we talked to one of the ladies at our Texas adoption agency. She had just received a text from our birthfather saying that he & our birthmom had made a final decision to keep the baby. Even though this is heartwrenching for us to hear (again), there is relief in having a completely closed door. It has been very hard to have this whole situation hang in the balance, as it has been since last Thursday.

Last spring, we decided to adopt because God showed us that we were to grow our family through adoption. Even though this entire experience has been (and continues to be) very difficult, we still desire to adopt a baby into our family. We know that we will never be able to replace the love we had for this baby, and we know that our next baby will be a completely new child to love.

Our profile, which prospective birthmoms are able to view, will go live online tomorrow morning. Of course, there is no guarantee as to when we will be picked...but we find comfort in knowing that God already knows when we will receive a call about another baby.

We are still asking you to pray for blessing on the lives of Isaac & our birthparents and for continued peace & healing in our lives.
