We just have to feel what we need to feel and work through our own pain in our own way and time...<br /><br />The shoes are adorable and I'm sorry they are boxed up and waiting right now.

I have experienced the accidental death of our two year old. I have come to believe that all loss is the same. It's the recovery that's different. Our failed adoption was NOTHING like watching my husband trying to revive our two year old on the living room floor. But the one constant has been the loving hands of the Father who have caught the bucketload of tears that have been shed over all of these losses. I promise that when you get to the other side of this journey, you will look back and there won't even be a question about why it took so long or why you had to endure the pain. I read recently in a Bible study this: "If I knew everything God knew and had His heart I would allow what God has allowed."mom2manyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14721596524827848511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487775382188777638.post-2584979869975927022010-02-21T12:27:57.811-08:002010-02-21T12:27:57.811-08:00I have said again and again that I hope to never e...I have said again and again that I hope to never experience a miscarriage since I don't think that I could handle it. I'm so afraid that it would be the thing to finally break me. <br /><br />My biggest fear about adoption is the total loss of control. Doing public adoption the way that we're going to do it means that we're going to wait a long time, but the parents have lost their parental rights or have given them up. <br /><br />I'm so sorry that you're having a tough time right now. I'm sending you prayers and hugs!JellyBellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12446863670679588932noreply@blogger.com
