Giving It All Away

We just gave away a bunch of baby stuff we were holding onto for the anticipated fourth adoption that never happened.  It felt great to help a family need, and Amy and I are more than relieved to unclutter our home. 

But we're also feeling a sadness of what could’ve been. Circumstances are such that another baby would’ve been hard, so we’re not down that it didn’t happen, but we’re a little down that circumstances couldn’t have been different.

Ultimately we trust that God also provides (or doesn't) according to His abundant love for us and His deep understanding of what is best.  And we are deeply grateful for Jada, Aaron, and Asher.  But there are times when the loss we endured is felt more strongly, and now is one of them.
