It is with a super heavy heart that I write this post..... The short story is that our adoption match fell through and we no longer get the privilege to parent that sweet baby girl. Our hearts are completely broken, but we trust that God has a plan that is much bigger than we can imagine in this moment.
We have spent the last few weeks since getting matched decorating, buying baby clothes, celebrating, and getting ready to be parents. We are so thankful for the love and support we found from everyone! We were so blown away by peoples' generosity of funds, baby supplies, prayers, and support! We jumped in the car friday afternoon after a long week away on a work trip to start our adventure to bring home baby Trygg. On Saturday evening, we got a devastating call that the birth mom had suddenly changed her mind and had decided to parent. We were obviously shocked and broken hearted, and it is so hard to not question what went wrong. Even though right now we are broken, we know that God has a plan and it will be amazing.
We are so thankful for the love and support we have received the past couple days. We appreciate your continued prayers as we walk through this time. We are continuing the adoption process, hopeful and excited to see what God has in store for our family.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. Praying for you both.
ReplyDeleteDevastating!!! Praying prayers of peace and comfort. I have no words, just supporting you with prayers.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the toll this news has taken on you both. I am so sorry, Jared and Stephanie. Despite this setback, I know you will be excellent parents for your adoptive child, whoever he or she is. I'm praying for a better outcome this next time around. We love you guys. Our hearts go out to you right now. +>j
