This whole month was about low-level prepping for a baby, having that prep escalate severely once the birthmother went into labor way earlier than we were ready for, holding our hearts in our hands as we were told she was having second thoughts about going through with it, and then absorbing the stomach punch of the adoption not happening. So it's been a hard and tiring slog, and we are still feeling a bit lost seeing as that we had oriented our whole lives around adding a newborn into the mix. But we are thankful for what we do have, which is three beautiful kids and a growing hope that there is still one more to come.
