Mother's Day 2012

Recap 2012 Mother's Day weekend:

We were suppose to have met the birth mom we had been communicating with for over 12 weeks for the first time at dinner. We had been in contact on Friday and were suppose to go to dinner with her on Saturday. Mind you that we had been texted all week and she even sent us her picture on Friday, so we could know what she looked like. 

We were so excited and we hadn't told our family yet about the adoption and were going to let our Moms know for Mother's Day. Well we got stood up, with no communication. We waited for over an hour. I was so heart broken I could barely stand it. 

We ended up going to our parents house right after telling them what happened and gave them their Mother's Day presents a day early. On Mother's Day, we ended up staying home because all I could do was cry my eyes out. We eventually found out that the birth mom no longer wanted us to be parents for her baby and had gone out and chosen another family.  

Third adoption fell through and made us lose our respect and hopes for adoptions....which turned out with a happy ending as we ended up with our own miracle for the best Mother's Day 2013 yet.

At this time it was hard to remember that Heavenly Father's plan is so much better than the plan we could have for ourselves. It is hard to see it while going through it, but looking back is one of the greatest things we can do to reflect and appreciate where a broken heart can lead to.
