You did go through such a hard time with the fraud and anyone would be jaded by that and not want to try again. But look how you've opened your heart and now have 2 beautiful daughters. Yes, God is good!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25155494.post-1170812649777674222007-02-06T20:44:00.000-05:002007-02-06T20:44:00.000-05:00DeAnna, I have never experienced a failed/fraud pl...DeAnna, I have never experienced a failed/fraud placement and I pray that I will never have to. Still, it's one of the biggest fears that we, as adoptive parents, face.<BR/><BR/>I admire your spirit of forgiveness and I hope that God did find a way to use your kindness to influence Andrea. Perhaps she decided to parent the baby and just didn't have the heart to tell you. It's hard to tell. <BR/><BR/>Oh, as for your comment on my pedicure post...I found myself to be terribly ticklish too! :) I was laughing aloud during much of the pedicure, but it was fun!Overwhelmed!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03213476355485623906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25155494.post-1170791640671471022007-02-06T14:54:00.000-05:002007-02-06T14:54:00.000-05:00To be able to say all that you just said is truely...To be able to say all that you just said is truely the mark of a Godly woman! Even though your girls are little, some day they will be able to rise up and call you blessed just like Proverbs 31 talks about.

February is an important month in our adoption memories as well - the month of our first failed match, the month our daughter Eva was born and we celebrate her birthday (though we didn't learn of her existence and bring her home until May), the month we brought Caleb home and loved him until the "reclaim" occurred one week later. I will think of Caleb on February 17, the day of his birth when we held him for the first time at 3 hours old, and on February 24, when we held him for the very last time and said goodbye. But no longer with heartbreak because now I look into Owen's eyes and know that he was truly the son intended for us. Thanks be to GOD!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603244678280067360noreply@blogger.com
