Our Loss

After months and months of ups and downs, our journey to what we thought was the answer to our prayers has ended. We are not able to adopt the little angel that we have gotten so emotionally attached to, since July 25th. We do know that he was born on January 9th and that he is perfectly healthy! James and I are devastated and are trying to find the silver lining in this, though it is NOT an easy road. We are blessed to have so many people around us that love us. I know that we will get through this but for now, it feels as though our world has crumbled around us. We appreciate the continued concern and prayers and we ask now that you pray for our "Ryan" as he is in the foster care system - we ask that you pray for people to take care of him and love him as much as we do and we also ask that you pray for continued strength for us, as a couple, to be able to get through this terrible time.

I found a poem online that I thought was appropriate:

They Say There is a Reason
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way I feel,
For no-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried,
We want to tell you something,
So there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.
