Tickers are Bad Luck?

I am beginning to think that those baby tickers are bad luck. Every time we post one about a new baby something bad happens. I don't think I will do that again!

We just got the word today that our new birth mother gave birth this weekend and has decided to parent her baby. Apparently she didn't even call the agency until this morning and then was only seeking to find out if they will continue to support her financially for six weeks even though she has changed her mind. This was devastating news. We had just gotten comfortable with the idea of a new baby, had packed his bag for the hospital and were getting really excited about a little brother for Olivia.

There is still a chance that the agency will match us again with a birth mother who is expecting or gives birth during our time frame. We have heard stories of Mom's who give birth and then call the agency to place, etc. So, anything is possible. We aren't holding our breath, but we remain hopeful that something else will work out if is God's will for our lives. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue this process and hope that God grants the desires of our hearts with another baby.
