I was offended. I was hurt.<br />I responded, "No, we're not. But if I was pregnant, I wouldn't be guaranteed to carry the baby to term or deliver a healthy child. Life doesn't come with guarantees."<br />I had heard the stories of families whose adoptions fell through. I made it a point to read about the good AND the bad, and tried to prepare for every possible scenario. But like you, I got scared, too. My best advice? Cling to the Father.<br />Just a week or two before we left for Ukraine in 2007, God led me to this verse:<br /><br />I will go before you and make the rough places smooth; I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars. Isaiah 45:2<br /><br />Praying that He makes your rough places smooth, and that He eases your worries. Fear can be good, if it draws us closer to Him!Zack, Jenn and Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535671976007119533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-76471817426355636572010-03-23T20:28:29.811-04:002010-03-23T20:28:29.811-04:00That is so weird, I have been feeling down and wor...That is so weird, I have been feeling down and worried today too. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hopefully soon you will be holding you son in your arms and all of this difficulty will be a distant memory.Devonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05436051559377108503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-7387823880695452462010-03-23T19:58:21.093-04:002010-03-23T19:58:21.093-04:00Hang in there.
