I have tried to write this post a bazillion times, but each time I delete it and step away. I guess I have just needed more time to heal and process the changes happening in our adoption process. But slowly word is getting out so I realize that I need to "go public".
It is with a very heavy heart that I tell you we are no longer adopting Kadence. Kadence is not meant to be our daughter. God has other plans for her life and we know the He has her exactly where He wants her. She is a beautiful little girl and we will continue to pray for her and her precious life.
So where does that leave us?
We are now back in waiting mode. We are taking some time to pray about our precious daughter and waiting on God to guide us and direct us. We know that His timing is perfect and until then....we will trust in that! We will continue to keep you all updated and hopefully be able to once again share in the amazing news of a referral!
ADOPTION AUCTION:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Our auction was a huge success and we feel so blessed by the generosity of so many. We are still gathering the bids and sending out items so once that is finished I will have a grand total! But we are so excited to add this amazing chunk of change to our adoption fund!
We will continue to raise funds and save for our adoption because we know it is coming! We know that one day soon we will welcome a precious baby girl into our forever family!!!

I am still facilitating St. Vincent adoptions. So if you are interested in adopting from St. Vincent I have added a "tab" on my blog as to how you can get info!!
