Disappointed
Our social worker emailed today to let us know that our profile was shown to one of the birthmoms in North Carolina today. This was the situation where the bmom's parents were encouraging her to parent. Anyway, this particular bmom selected another family. It is pretty disappointing and it sort of feels like a rejection. There are still 2 other bmoms in North Carolina that may be looking at our profile in the near future. Ross and I have decided we do not want to be notified when our profile goes out unless the agency needs our permission about a certain situation first. I think it will be easier not knowing.

Sorry to hear about your disappointment. Just remember that God has chosen a child for you, you just haven't been introduced yet.
I found out about your blog from the Bethany forums and enjoy reading about your journey.
We are a transracial family, check out our blog sometime (just click on my name). God's blessings on your adoption adventure!
Amber, huge hugs!!! I can understand why you feel the sting of rejection, even knowing that this child was not meant for you. We are all human and it hurts when you are not chosen. But just remember that you will be chosen and that God has already decided then when/how/why and who.
I think that when we finally get our profile ready we will probably decide only to be notified if certain facotrs may need to be considered.
Best wishes! tay strong!
