Please pray extra hard for us. We are really having issues with our adoption agency. During today's conversations, our contact accidentally mentioned the name of the little boy that turned out not to be ours, which we had not previously been told. It turned out to be the name my parents had been calling him during prayer, and that Jeff and I had picked up. It was heartbreaking for me to read that the name we had chosen actually was his name. There is no reason that I should have found out this information, and I don't understand why we are continuously being exposed to extra heartache.
This week marks the anniversary of Leah's diagnosis. It was going to be hard enough anyway, and now we have these additional difficulties to deal with.

Geeeeeeeeez. I'm def. praying for you guys. After my son passed away, I don't know how many times I went into the doctor's office after that where a nursed asked me how my son was doing. It really is heartbreaking, and I will be praying for you and Jeff, all this week. Your time will come, and I pray that it comes sooner rather than later.
Stay Strong!

Sending up prayers for you both. Stay strong...there is a baby that's just waiting for you.
Thank you both- we appreciate your prayers and support so much. It comforts us to see how you have persevered.
Gosh, I don't know what to say. It is frustrating that the agency has not been more careful with the info they have as you go through this process. I pray that God will be your comforter in a very real way.
Praying for God's comfort to be just what you need.
That is really weird and unprofessional:( I'm sorry that happened. I am praying for you guys.
jaw dropped. mouth hanging open. want to curse. hold on.
Wow. My heart breaks for you more than you know. It's Dan. I also adopted from Uganda and spoke to you on the phone a while back. I am Joanne's husband. I KNOW God has a plan for anyone who is adopting from Uganda. Perhaps the plan was that you indeed care for this child and bring him a family. By pursuing the adoption, you allowed relatives to find him and realize what a blessing he is and choose to care for him. It is NO ACCIDENT you have been praying for him by his name. And it is NO ACCIDENT that his birth family recovered him. God used you! It is sometimes painful to be used by God but he used you! It was painful for Christ to be used as a sacrifice for our sins. And in a similar way you were used as a sacrifice for this boy to have a family.
I know it hurts. I can't even imagine how much. And I know you want to cast blame... I would too! But if God has used you like this already for one child, imagine how he will use you as parents to another! You are a blessed couple. And God never leaves anyone on the cross. We don't just believe in Good Friday... we believe in Easter Sunday too. And a resurrection is coming your way I am sure of it. And I am praying for it.
With love and concern,
Dan
I click you your link thur Candi I hope that was okay.
I am sorry to read about your adoption mess up. Me and my husband just adopted in March and we had some heartache along the way, but it is such a learning experience and when your baby comes all of the stuff you've had to deal with the adoption agency doesn't matter. Our little boy was meant for us and I know that when the time is right your adoption will go so fast you can't even blink. Good luck. Keep having faith and trust in the Lord.
