So adoption is hard. No surprise there. After our fight to keep our Noah baby we should have learned that it is not an easy journey. It's hard to have no control over something so intimate in your life. A small yet heartbreaking wake up call happened this week. A situation came up with our agency that seemed perfect. She didn't choose to parent. She didn't choose another adoptive couple over us. we never gave her that chance. We had to say no because of the $. I won't lie it sunk my heart down to a pit of despair. It's not that we missed out on this baby, it's that I'm afraid that adoption will never be affordable. We are looking at it costing a minimum of $30,000. That's close to what Adam makes in a year. It's devastating. Not only will I never get to feel a baby kick inside of me, see an ultrasound with a perfect little heartbeat, or parade around that beautiful baby bump; but I will have to accumulate a great amount of debt in order to give Noah a sibling. It's terrifying. We are planning some great fundraisers but I can only see them denting where we need to be. I know there are several of you who are sponsoring www.runningforbaby.com. My heart is so full of love and gratitude for you. You really are great people. Thank you.
