In January Joe and I started researching our adoption options and have since started the process. We very much want to grow our family and are super excited to be able to journey through the experience of adopting. We decided to journal the experience and want to share it with everyone.

Update...
just got a message from Amanda, after sleeping on it she decided to only meet Again with the family she is choosing. It is not us...
I'm so sorry Kim! :( I can't imagine what you're feeling right now, but please call me if you need to talk. Your baby is still out there - just keep your faith strong and you will find each other. I'm almost glad that she decided not to meet with you guys again since she already made her decision so that she didn't get your hopes up more and didn't have to put Lola through meeting her. But I am still so so sorry. Sending you lots of hugs and love.
I wanted to add... that when the right birth family comes along it will be meant to be in all senses, you will be the right/perfect match but also they will be for you. I know you guys were leaning towards wanting an open or partially open adoption, and I think that when that right one comes along that will be something they want too and you guys really will be the most perfect match for you! That family and baby is out there for you guys Kim, I really do believe that. They just need to find you. And you guys have put yourselves out there in the most loving, genuine, selfless, vulnerable, and beautiful way and they WILL find you! <3
I am so sorry Kim. Just as Lola was perfect for your family, your perfect baby will come. I know that is of little comfort right now, but hang in there. Michael Rader
Sorry :( Just means there's a different baby out there meant to join your family.
