situation madness ***updated

Possible, but long-shot, adoption situation came in today. This, of course, after I prayed this morning "Lord, bring us a baby soon." Ha.

Pray. Pray that the money is right and the details are good and all of it won't make me crazy. Pray that if we are the right people, they will choose us.

Pray for me, that I won't lose my mind.

Send up those prayers, please.

Thanks.

Update (8pm) Well, it was over almost as quickly as it started. The situation fit us in so many ways, but ultimately was too much of a risk on the financial end. We would have had to put out almost $15,000 up front, to only be able to get $7400 back if the birth parents changed their minds. We just don't have that much money to put into the whole thing and possibly lose it. With our current agency, we pay when we take custody of the child after the revocation period, so nothing is lost. This was through a facilitator that I keep up with, and looked great until we read the fine print.

I am sad. Of course. It seemed like such excellent timing, especially in light of my prayer this morning.

We ate Chinese tonight and my fortune said "sometimes the solution comes from where you least expect it." Interesting.

So anyway, thanks for all the prayers you sent up on our behalf. If you don't mind to keep praying with me that a match we can afford will come soon, I'd appreciate it.

Love you!
