Goodbye Rylie

After spending a nice weekend at West Point watching the Air Force football game, we came home to sad news. A phone call came from our new agency. We will no longer be able to adopt Rylie. Scott and I were devastated because this will be the second child that we've lost.

After many tears and trying to see what direction we should take, Scott and I have decided to try and travel to Russia one more time. If possible, we will travel there this weekend and look for another child. We'll have to work fast with tickets and the Russian Visa.

We can't begin to understand this news and can only hope that this means that we'll have a child home by Christmas. At this point, we are numb...

I am soooo sorry. I am sad that you are hurting. Believe that God has a plan ...even when we DON'T understand or amagine why this was not it. I will keep praying!

I am so sorry this has happened. I can't imagine your pain or the numbness you have. I hope you can find another child. I will add you to my prayer list of adoptive parents wanting to adopt or waiting for their child to come home! Blessings!
