Referrals, but not our daughter

I have been hesitating to write here, but I did want to let everyone know that something is going on. It will be three years in June and we are not going to renew again, so if it was meant to be it will happen soon. We received a "call" in January, but it was a boy (we have three boys, so that was a no). We received another call on March 24th for a 12 month old girl. We were very excited, we called the doctor and did the research. Unfortunately, she has potential problems that may not have been overcome with general therapy and extra help. With three other children we thought it would be too much. To say that we are sad and frustrated is an understatement. But, if I was meant to be a mother to a daughter, then it will happen, if not I rejoice in the love of my husband and my three awesome boys! We are already so lucky.

  2. I know what you are going through. Our experience with Poland has not been an easy one either....thats why we have decided to move on. Cherish your boys and trust in God's plan for your family....All the best..

  3. I remember all to well how hard it is to turn down a referral. Hopefully you will get another one soon for a girl. What ever is meant to happen, will. Good luck in your journey.

  4. Hi I am wondering if you could email me so we could talk. Did you ever get another referral or did you give up? I have a similar family situation. (I have 2 boys, lost a few babies in miscarriage and am now pregnant with boy #3) We haven't started the process yet but are highly considering adopting from Poland. Thanks for your time. My email is nursebethlee@gmail.com
