It is with a sad heart that I write to tell you all that for the time being our birth mother has changed her mind. Apparently the birth father showed up at the hospital this morning and convinced her to keep the baby. Our agency will try to speak with her again, but she is not wanting to talk to them right now. Things of this nature do happen with adoptions and sometimes birthmom's change their minds several times. We know that God's will ultimately is what we want for our lives, so while this is certainly sad and devastating news, we will put our faith and our comfort in Him. He knows what is best for us and He will carry us through these tough times. I am sure you will all understand, but I don't think that Kim is in a place where she wants to have to discuss this with everyone at this time, but we would very much appreciate your prayers. We love you all and please don't take this to mean that Kim doesn't want to hear from you - it's just too difficult to discuss this part of our lives with everyone at this time. Thanks so much for being there and when we have more news to share, we will do so.
God Bless!
John

ReplyDeleteTrust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

ReplyDeleteHow heartbreaking!! I am praying for both of you!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear this. you will be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about you Kim. I love you lady. Please let me know if you need anything.
ReplyDeletejohn - this is my first time to your blog, found my way here through the asking of prayers from summer b...and let me just say that my thoughts and prayers are most definitely with you and your wife kim...
ReplyDeleteand let me just say that YOUR baby is out there and like you said it is all in His timing...my husband was adopted at birth and before his adoptive parents received him they first were blessed with a baby girl, until the birth mother decided to change her mind and took her back after two weeks...when they heard word of my husband they opted for him to go to a foster family for three weeks while the mother still had her state lawed "options open" but after that they got him and through tears i write you that i am OH so very thankful they did because they were not just shaping their forever through receiving him but mine and our daughters as well...so don't think for a second that this isn't all part of something even BETTER that He has in store for you two because when you are finally blessed with your baby you will be fulfilling His plan for you and kim and many many others as well!!!
Such high hopes, such a low blow. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteJohn and Kim - As you know, we went through a very simliar situation last month when our birthmom changed her mind and decided to keep her baby. We know the pain you are feeling, but also know God works all things to His glory and we are praying for you and have big hugs for you. We've been there and I know that there is little that can be said to comfort you, but know that we love you!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry Kim and John. My heart breaks for you both.
ReplyDeletePraying for you,
Christi
I'm so so sorry. Your family will be in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had something comforting to say. Of course you're in my prayers.
