Psalm 73:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
Most of you know by now that our adoption did not work out. We are very, very sad. God has a plan. Whether it includes children for us or not, He is a good God and will hold us during this time.
The Bible says that He will give us the desire of our heart. Yes, a desire of my heart is to have children. However, my deeper desire is to be molded into the image of Christ. I fall so short so many times. But that is my true desire. My deepest desire is that my desires would be aligned with God's will for me.
We appreciate your love and prayers during this time. I have HOPE, hope that God has a plan for us and it is tailor made for us. I look forward to discovering it, but right now, we are taking a little time to let our hearts heal.

I'm so sorry. My heart aches too because I know it's as real as losing a baby through miscarriage. You have loved that baby all the way through now and will continue to love it. I've walked this road to some existent....although I do have two wonderful boys. But I know that losing an adoption doesn't mean that you didn't loose a child. It's real and you did for which I am very heartbroken for you. I'm praying for you in a big way! I put some words to the song "In pieces" on my blog that I think it would fit how you feel. It's touched me many times. I hope all this rambling makes sense. The bottom line...I care and will do what I can to help. Love you

Shar and Bob,

Shar and Bob,
I just found out this weekend about your baby and I am so so sorry. I would do anything I could to take that hurt away from you. You and Bob will make wonderful parents someday and you are right, God has a plan for you both! That doesn't take the pain away right now, though. Please know that we love you both deeply and we are so sorry. We will be praying for you. Just know that it's okay to grieve and to cry if you need to. You have lost a child and it's as real as any miscarriage or still birth that anyone has had. We love you and feel that you are part of our family!
Love you,
Brenda
Dear Bob and Shar,
We are so sorry and I know that the sadness that we feel is so small compared to what you must be feeling, but may God somehow give you peace in the midst of the "storm" of your emotions. May you feel our love, support and prayers, and know that we are reaching out to you across the miles. We love you!

Dear Bob and Shar,
I just found out you lost your baby, and want you to know I'm soooo sorry! You will continue to be in my prayers.
Hugs,
Diane
Shar, I just wanted to cry when I read your blog. You will be in my prayers. Love ya.
I had no idea that you lost your baby until just now. A portion of a song that Kim and Phil Collingsworth sings came to mind. Its says "God sees the storm from the other side..." We all know that God has a purpose and a plan for your lives. I will be praying that God sustains you through this time of grieving and will be to you exactly what you need Him to be. I love you....Bev
Dear Shar and Bob,
So very sorry to hear this news. Losing a baby is so very hard but I know that God will see you through this difficult time. We are still praying for you both. Love and Prayers, Julie
Namesake and Bob,
I love you both very much. I am praying for you both. This is such a difficult situation for anyone to have to deal with. You are very strong couple and God will bring you through. Love, Namesake
Shar, I was so sad to read your news. We'll be praying for you.
Shar,
I am sorry as well. Words can't take away the pain, but knowing there is support helps!! I don't really know what to say, but the Wisnants (southern Gospel group) sing a song that has lifted me up time and again. It's titled "A Greater Yes." and talks about the times when God says "no" it's because there is a greater "YES". I praise God for giving you strength through this time of loss and disappointment. Keep trusting Him!! He will give you the desire of your heart. Your thoughts echo the ones I've been thinking about lately as well. Thank you for being an encouragement to so many, and know that I am praying for you!!! May God continue to hold you and give you strength in the coming days.
Prayers,
Esther Junod
I read your blog occasionally...SO SORRY! Blessings.
I am so sorry for you all. You will be in our prayers.
I'm late to this news. I'm just sitting here, wishing there were something healing and wonderful to say. I'm just sorry, and crying tears for you. And am also reminded that we don't see as He does. We see the back of the tapestry, not the front. Thank you for reminding us of hope. Praying He fills your heart AND your arms.
