I wish I had more answers, but I'm at peace. God brought her into our lives for a reason. She is loved by a lot of people of whom she will never know. In my heart, I was that precious baby girl's momma for a short time. I prayed for her constantly, wondered what she was doing all throughout the day and night, showed her picture off and bragged about her beautiful face to anyone who would listen. She will always have a piece of my heart and I wouldn't have it any other way.
*Please note our fundraising thermometer...we have surpassed our current financial goal! Our circumstances have changed, but our financial need has not. Thank you to all who have donated. Even though we aren't bringing home the little one we thought was ours, your donations will help us adopt the child God has intended for our family.
I just started following your story, I am sorry for the disappointment and confusion you must feel but am so thankful you feel at peace in the Lord. I pray that He will continue to pour out that peace and comfort in the moments of doubt, frustration, discouragement and sadness that might pop up in the days to come. I am soooo thrilled for your family that god provided above and beyond for your financial needs!! Thanks for opening your story for other people to be a part of what God is doing in you family
ReplyDeletewow what a turn of events. It's all in God's perfect plan! Great news about the fundraiser that is amazing! I cant wait to hear what God has planned for you guys!
ReplyDeleteOh Lindsay! I can only imagine how much your Momma heart must be breaking. Praise God she will have the opportunity to be raised in a biological family...but my heart aches for you guys. Praying for peace and comfort, and that God will continue to direct your path. I know He has an amazing plan for your family!
ReplyDelete**P.S. Hurray for the way He provided the $$! That is wonderful news! He is faithful...in every area!
This makes me sad for you. Iit's a hard situation. As soon as you see your child's face you instantly start thinking about how your family will look and I know you've been covering her in prayer. I'm glad she's no longer an orphan and that she does have a parent. I'm glad you all were sent to her to maybe pray over her like she's never been prayed for before. I know your child is out there and I can't wait to see who he/she is. Much love to the whole Morris family!
ReplyDelete*And YAY to the fundraising! Onward!
I'm so sorry to hear about the recent turn of events, but as you know and others have said...it is all part of God's bigger plan. We wish you all the best through this entire process and please know that you and your family are in our prayers!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to get together sometime soon!!!
Adoption is hard... and there are many things that happen that we will probably never have answers for But God is amazing and overwhelming and in control!!! Blessings to you!!
ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for you because I know how this feels. We have been through that twice and sadly it is not easier the second time. In all of this I have to believe that God's hand is present, He cries with me and hears our prayers. If you never met that little girl she never would have had people from all over the world praying for her. Each year that goes by and we are still waiting it has only become harder but I know one day our child will come home. I am sending love and prayer your way in the hope that another child will be matched to your family soon.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

P.S. How wonderful that you surpassed your fundraising goal!
Praying for you guys as God's plan is sometimes confusing to us humans :), but knowing that God is sovereign in ALL things and HIS grace is sufficient.
